In this article by Enda Curran it tells about the new Legislation of graphic images on cigarette boxes. The government has decided to increase the value of the health in their country. It also shows how the tobacco companies are reacting, which is not gratefully or gracefully. I feel that this is a revolutionary and extremely great idea. The horrifying quality of these images may revolt children and teenagers to the point they will never touch a single box. Also the lack of logos and bold prints will reduce the "glamour" and rebellion in smoking so it will cause people to quit the gross habit. I think that this is an important way of running things in Australia because it will conserve resources of the residents of the country, increase health, and downsize the epidemic of smoking running rampant. The next step, is banning it from entering the continent.
You make excellent points, Elena! I am hopeful the shock will create change. How much second-hand, third-hand smoke or how many hands will we have to endure before finally stopping the distribution of cancer sticks?
ReplyDeleteI agree with you for the most part, and I think it was a well written piece on your part. However, banning it from entering the continent won't stop people from making them illegally INSIDE the continent. But very good! Bravo! *Ridiculously loud clapping*
