From 1 March 2013, all cigarettes sold in Singapore must carry the revised ‘SDPC’ (Singapore Duty-Paid Cigarette) mark. The new mark features a series of vertical bars around the cigarette stick, a measure to allow enforcement officers and the public to be able to better visibly differentiate duty-paid cigarettes from contraband cigarettes.
