tobacco plain packaging

Tobacco plain packaging is a public health measure that requires cigarette packs to have a uniform, standardized design without brand logos, colors, or promotional imagery. The aim is to reduce the attractiveness of smoking, especially among young people, by making packs less appealing and increasing awareness of health risks. By removing branding and using plain packaging, authorities hope to decrease smoking initiation and encourage current smokers to quit, ultimately reducing tobacco-related illness and deaths. This approach is part of broader efforts to control tobacco marketing and promote healthier choices.
