Closed petition Stop Plain Packaging for Cigarettes

Closed on 27 January 2016

In May 2016 plain packaging is going to come into force for cigarettes, but this is wrong and unnecessary for a number of reasons.

1. Smoking is declining.
2. Cigarettes have to be kept behind the counter and covered up.
3. Health warnings are required including pictures at the back.
4. Advertising is banned in any form.
5. You have to be 18 to buy it.
6. Indoor public smoking is banned.
7. Alcohol is worse for your health but is actually encouraged.
8. Many more (inc. new anti-tobacco laws and doctors wanting to ban sales to those born after 2000).

I agree don't encourage it, but at least respect those that want to do it.
