The new regulations, which The Zioneer reported earlier today would take effect starting Sunday, are now officially in force. The move aligns Israel with international standards for tobacco packaging, requiring graphic images depicting the health consequences of smoking and nicotine use to cover at least 75% of product packaging. The regulations apply to cigarettes, e-cigarettes, rolling tobacco, hookah products, and nicotine pouches. Companies and importers that distribute products without compliant packaging face criminal charges and fines of up to NIS 452,000.
