Cigarette packaging

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

With the recent news that cigarettes are going to have their branding removed and be sold in brown packaging covered in health warnings, how long do you reckon it will be before cigarette cases come back into fashion?

I used to collect them. I've got some really nice ones. Which might negate the reason for changing the packaging really, because getting a cig out of a silver cigarette case is going to look cool however stinky the habit is.

Will certainly make it a lot easier for those making the bootleg fags.

No need to worry about getting the packaging to look authentic.

i dont see how this is going to make any difference at all. people dont buy fags for the packaging and thy have had health warnings on for years....people have become immune to them.

Its not secret fags fuck up your insides, if people want to smoke they will smoke.

Surely the easiest way to stop people smoking is not to interfere and just let them suffer the final consequences? Saves the NHS expense too?

When we were kids it was all about the brand you smoked. I don't think that is the case so much now though.

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

E-cigs are now seen as the cool and "safe" entry to smoking. I understand they come in flavours like butterscotch.

There will have to be a brand identifier of some sort. I wonder if the gruesome packaging will become collectibles given the images young people see now?

We got them for pennies as singles from the corner shop near school. I started when I was 9 (I grew up in inner city London). I gave up when I was 18.

I think you are right to a great extent. There is a bit of a price war with cigs at the moment and I think a lot of people smoke the cheaper brands, packaging/branding has very little to do with it

Which is odd because the majority are smoked by ex-smokers.

If this, or any government was serious about removing the drain on the public health resources caused by smoking they would simply ban tobacco.

However, all that tax revenue comes in handy.....

They'd be voted out pretty quickly. British people know their rights when it comes to killing themselves (cf seatbelts, using mobile phones when driving, and alcopops).

The trouble with this idea, which isn't based on evidence that it will work, is that the British taxpayer will have to pay the tobacco companies to change from their brands!!!

It's a waste of money - taxpayers money - and as the super rich avoid tax at all costs, it'll be us lot that pay £millions to the tobacco companies to do this.

It would solve the whole bloody problem though and I bet successive governments wouldn't overturn it.

Tobacco companies are a) extremely wealthy and b) companies, so the general public don't have to pay for them to change their packaging. If anything the cost will be passed on to the smokers who buy them.

Ever since they put them behind sliding doors in supermarkets it's made me way less likely to buy any!!

Not!!!

I bet the sliding door manufacturers were happy with that choice though!

They will for adults and no prob for them. If it cuts down on 2000 children aged under 16 per year taking up smoking as they think it will it seems a fair price.
