Tobacco industry to ‘fight tooth and nail’
Dr Reilly said he was braced for an onslaught of legal challenges from the tobacco industry and he would be “astonished” if Big Tobacco didn’t fight him “tooth and nail all the way”.
The minister said Cabinet had approved the general scheme for legislation which will make it mandatory for tobacco to be sold in standardised packaging with large graphic health warnings dominating the packaging making it more difficult for tobacco firms to promote their brands.
