Coalition urged to follow tobacco brand ban
The Irish Cancer Society said it welcomed the decision by Australia’s High Court to back tough anti-tobacco laws on packaging. From Dec 1, all cigarettes on sale in Australia will be in olive coloured packets showing cancer-riddled mouths, blinded eyeballs, and sick children. The court’s decision follows a major test case between tobacco companies and anti-smoking campaigners.
The Australian government, which has urged other countries to adopt similar anti-smoking laws, wants to make smoking as unglamorous as possible.
