The minister in question is Andrew Lansley.
It's for your own good..

I think that plain packets are a splendid idea.
As we well know from crack and heroin and so on, since dealers were forced to sell in plain packets, sales plummeted.
That did literally make me 'lol'.
"encouraged to lead healthier lives with nudges in the right direction " how is that not Nannying?
Tranfering Public Health (and the staff already responsible) from the NHS to Local Authorities will be an unmitigated disaster. Makework for Councils pure and simple, especially when combined with their recent power grab of licensing from the Magistrates.

It's not like there isn't abundant proof of that in...well, everything else they've transferred to them, is it?
How long do we think it will take for the market to come up with attractive boxes to put your plain packet in?
And make smoking even cooler?
Great to see we're in good hands.
