CPAA's WORLD NO TOBACCO DAY 2016

Every year 31st May is observed as World No Tobacco Day (WNTD). This year the theme for WNTD is "Get ready for plain packaging" Plain packaging of tobacco products is an important demand reduction measure. It reduces the attractiveness of tobacco products, restricts use of tobacco packaging as a form of advertising, limits misleading packaging and labeling and increases the effectiveness of health warnings. CPAA in co-operation with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoH&FW) and WHO is organizing SMACK THAT PACK CHALLENGE competition, which will be judged by a panel of celebrities. An exhibition of the best selected, will be held at Trident,BKC- Bandra (Mumbai).
