Yemen

Yemen is a member of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Standardization Organization. On August 9, 2011, the GCC Standardization Organization (GSO) adopted a standard, Labelling of Tobacco Product Packages. This standard includes a requirement for picture based health warnings to cover 50% of the package front and back, with an Arabic warning on the front and an English warning on the back.

Each member country of the GCC Standardization Organization must adopt the standard nationally through its own national processes before the GCC standard applies in that country. It is unclear if and when the warnings will be implemented in Yemen.

Two picture warnings in the standard are specifically designed for water pipe tobacco. The standard also contains a specific ban on misleading terms including “light”, “mild”, “low tar”, “extra light”, “low” and similar terms.
