Johannes Spatz, speaking for all members of Forum Rauchfrei [email protected] 16.12.2016 Tobacco Retailers in Germany hiding health warnings Tobacco retailers in Germany are more and more using so-called product cards, small cards made from cardboard or plastic in most cases provided by tobacco manufacturers, to hide the packs in the shelves behind the counter so the health warnings are not visible The Tobacco Products Directive however calls for the visibility of the health warnings when tobacco products are placed on the market: Member States shall ensure that the health warnings on a unit packet and any outside packaging are irremovably printed, indelible and fully visible, including not being partially or totally hidden or interrupted by tax stamps, price marks, security features, wrappers, jackets, boxes, or other items, when tobacco products are placed on the market. The Federal Ministry for Food and Agriculture which is in charge of ruling tobacco products in Germany states that this is illegal but says also that local authorities must examine case by case if the law is violated or not
