Ministry of Information& Broadcasting and Ministry Of Health has decided to drop the clause that necessitated "UA" Certification for the films showing tobacco products as per the amendment to the notification regarding depiction of Smoking Scenes in Films. Films showing use of tobacco products will now not be considered for "UA" certification on this ground alone.
As per the new notification, it is obligatory to display anti-tobacco health spots of minimum 30 seconds at the beginning and middle of the films displaying tobacco products or their use. Also, an audio-visual disclaimer of minimum 20 seconds on the ill-effects of tobacco use shall be displayed at the beginning and middle of the films displaying tobacco products or their use. In addition to the health spots and disclaimers, the films showing use of the tobacco products shall also be required to display an anti-tobacco health warning in the form of a static message during the period of display of the tobacco products or their use in the films. It has been agreed between the two Ministries.
To serve as a good news Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has agreed to bear all the costs relating to production of such health spots and disclaimers. These health spots and disclaimers prepared by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare will be provided to the Central Board of Film Certification in digital beta format for distribution to the filmmakers at the time of their application for certification.
