On 26 January 2017, the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Lithuania announced that they adopted new tobacco control measures in line with the WHO FCTC, in two areas, namely in strengthening their implementation of Article 5 (General Obligations) and Article 13 (Tobacco, advertising, promotion and sponsorship) in the Convention. As such, Lithuania has undertaken a comprehensive ban on any form of promoting the purchasing and consumption of tobacco products.

On 3 January 2017, Oman banned advertisements at the points of sale, including in supermarkets and shops. Dr Jawad Al Lawati, senior consultant and rapporteur for the National Tobacco Control Committee at the Ministry of Health said that several shops have already begun the process of removing tobacco products from shelves to decrease its visibility. Dr Lawati also noted that 40 to 60 per cent of deaths in Oman are due to non-communicable diseases, of which tobacco use is one of the risk factors.

On June 2015, the Republic of Korea adopted amendments to its National Health Promotion Act requiring pictorial health warnings.

This requirement came into force on 23 December 2016. According to the legislation, all types of tobacco products shipped from factories must carry pictorial health warnings depicting harmful effects of smoking. These pictorial health warnings are used on packages of cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and other tobacco products, all with warning phrases on the front, back and side. New packages will be found in retail markets after mid-January 2016.
