In the 2007 edition, there are two sets of warnings: "Smoking is harmful to health, and quitting smoking can reduce the harm to health" and "Smoking is harmful to health, and quitting smoking as soon as possible is good for health".
In the 20 15 new edition of the Regulations, the first group of warnings was adjusted to "Smoking is harmful to health, please don't smoke in no smoking places", and "discouraging teenagers from smoking and prohibiting primary and secondary school students from smoking" was added to form three groups of warnings.
In fact, the adjustment of warning content has strict legal basis. For example, the article "No smoking in smoking places" takes into account that Beijing and other cities have issued relevant local laws and regulations. "Planning" and "Tobacco Monopoly Law" clearly stipulate the expression of discouraging teenagers from smoking.

In addition to content adjustment, the regulation also clearly requires the location of warnings: the first group of warnings is used in the warning area on the front of the package, and the second and third groups of warnings are used in the warning area on the back of the package in turn.
This is quite different from the fixed collocation of the previous two groups of early warning. According to the requirements of "Planning", the warning language should have a rotation mechanism, with the purpose of increasing the cognitive effect and freshness in the form of rich content and changes, so as to play a better warning effect.
Similarly, in order to strengthen the warning effect, this regulation requires that the area of the warning area should not be less than 35% of its surface area, the font height of the warning font on the box packaging should not be less than 7.0 mm and 4.5 mm, and the color difference between the text in the warning area and the background of the warning area should be △Eab≥40. Compared with the 2007 edition, this requires a significantly higher standard and ensures that the warning language is clearer and more eye-catching.
