Handout image shows a composite image of a box of cigarettes with generic packaging and health warning
A box of cigarettes with generic packaging and a health warning of the same size as at present, is seen in this composite image showing the front (L) and back of the box, in this handout image released April 28, 2010. Australia will force tobacco companies to adopt plain packaging, removing all colour and branding logos within two years, in a world-first move aimed at cutting smoking-related deaths. Laws to be in force by January 2012 would prohibit tobacco companies from using any tobacco industry images and promotional text, as recommended by the World Health Organisation, the
centre-left government will announce later on Thursday. REUTERS/Department Of Health/Handout (AUSTRALIA – Tags: HEALTH) FOR EDITORIAL USE ONLY. NOT FOR SALE FOR MARKETING OR ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS
