So I'm afraid the process is already underway. You can dismiss it if you like, but the biggest contingent of countries in the history of the World Trade Organisation (34) are objecting precisely because it will set a precedent for any number of consumer products. <br /><br />Customs and Excise are not welcoming plain packaging because they are concerned it will make counterfeiting easier, as are a huge number of serving and high ranked ex-serving police officers.

Write to your MP?<br />Like they would take the slightest interest in what the public wants!<br /><br />I don’t see a problem with plain packaging.<br /><br />Enterprising companies will manufacture robust, durable cigarette packets that will be sold alongside the plain packets. Simply buy your cigarettes and transfer from the plain packet to the more acceptable one.<br /><br />The good thing is that these durable packets would be free from the legislation that presently forces cigarette companies to emblazon their packets with health warnings and pictures of dodgy lungs.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
