Bad idea people will carry on smoking, they know the brands, Youtube have cigarettes reviews and snuff is disgusting.

Why should the government tell us not to smoke ?

If they "know the brands" doesn't that mean the advertising is successful?

A recipe for disaster!
Silly Dave and wishy washy Clegg pandering to pressure groups.

It will be a charter for smuggled goods,not exactly hard for smugglers in china etc to counterfeit a white pack with a simple name on it.
Look forward to a rush of dangerous products hit the market as a result.

Thanet be a easy target for the counterfeit packets due to poverty. It be a huge waste of public money down the drain, we all know the risks of smoking same with booze but we still smoke and drink.

I wonder if they put unhealthy food in plan packets ?

This coalition is worse than Gordon Brown.

Best place to get them in Cliftonville is a certain 'bargain shop' on Northdown road....or so I'm told.

Would not try any counterfeit tobacco, heard it contains rat shit and dead flies.

A very good source of protein!

You need to get out of Thanet mate.

Will people really stop buying cigarettes be because they dislike the plain packaging? Do people start smoking in the first place because they are attracted to the packaging? lol

People smoke cos there parents smoke, friends do it and siblings. When I was at school people got the cheapest packets it was price people was attracted to not the packaging.

When I was working I smoked Camel and King Six cigars.

Be Durex next.

I'm in a strange position where I actually enjoy smoking however I no longer smoke!

all children should have this done..as was to me when I was 12...

I regularly stayed with an aunt who owned a pub..I could do whatever I wanted to so loved was I (and who wouldn't adore me?)

I started to purloin her cigarettes (with no objection) but on one visit she presented me with a beautiful pack of Sobranie Cocktail cigarettes.

I smoked the entire packet !

I was sick..sick, sick as a dog could ever be sick and took a week to recover from violent headaches....and never touched another cigarette in my life

Did you go on joints instead ?

Yes, as told in my autobiog 65 My Life So Far, I was dared to "finish off" a whole packet when I was about 7; ate them all, won the bet, was incredibly sick and have never smoked since.
