TOBACCO companies in India will have to stamp pictorial and text health warnings across 85 percent of the surface of cigarette packs, joining nations such as Thailand and Australia with stringent marketing rules.
Between 800,000 and 900,000 Indians die every year of diseases related to tobacco use, the government said in 2010. That number could reach 1.5 million by 2020 if users cannot drop the habit, the International Tobacco Control Project estimates.
