@ Aussie Friends - Plain Cigarette packs !!
Hi there
some places in Europe are thinking of introducing plain cigarette packs (England possibly soon).
From what I've seen of the proposed packaging they look MORE modern and sexier than the old plain blue / white or Gold etc packs.
The dangers of smoking are so well known that I can't really believe that the colour of cigarette packs will have ANY influence on whether to start or quit smoking.
I get the impression that these are just a load of Politicians trying to divert matters away from really serious issues just before an election.
Has the packaging made any difference to the number of people smoking in 'Oz. Remember there was always a downward (thank goodness) trend in the number of people smoking anyway in developed countries.
I don't smoke but if I were or if I was even considering smoking I doubt whether this packet design would influence me one tiny bit.
Cheers
