cigarettes? all cigarettes will have to be sold in plain packets by the start of 2012 under a radical government plan to remove one of the remaining forms of tobacco advertising.A ban on distinctive packaging has been recommended by the National Preventative Health Taskforce, the Cancer Council and the Preventative Health Association.The laws will stop the use of industry logos, colours, brand imagery or promotional words. Brand names and product names will be permitted but must be in a standard colour, style and position. Health warnings will remain compulsory.The government will road-test designs so they are less appealing, especially to younger people.
