Article: Smoking brand banning case uncertainty

South Africa had not yet indicated whether it would ban brands being displayed on tobacco packets like Australia, the National Council Against Smoking said on Wednesday.

"But they are looking at what is happening in Australia very closely," said NCAS member Dr Yusuf Saloojee.
 
Because we no longer have any 3rd world problems to deal with, that we need to go looking for 1st world problems.
 
I'm sure the alcohol industry will follow with unbranded bottles of wine/spirits and cans of beer so all is good.
 
Huh? So how do you know if you are killing yourself with Malboro or Camel?

If it were to happen in the alcohol industry you would simply see more distinctive bottles. Light green and it is Heineken, Absolut has a unique shape that doesn't require branding, same with Jager, Olmeca etc.
 
Its the branding and colourful packets that kill people not the smoke going into their lungs.:erm:
Im sure Australia experienced an influx of fake cigarettes in their market place, ciggies 10 times worst than what the branded companies were selling.
