Health Warning Changes on Cigarette Packs

For the two people amongst you who do not smoke, here's the story:

Until now the notices on health covered only 4 percent of space on cigarette packs. In one of its last sessions, the executive made amendments in the law on technical procedures of cigarettes requiring to provide 30 percent of space to health precautions on cigarette packs.

The law will be effective as of February 1, 2008. The packs will also contain information about people who are prohibited to smoke. Cigarette producers have come up with no suggestions on the innovation and did not complain about 30 percent space.

Something tells me this will have zero impact on either tobacco sales or tobacco deaths. Moving along.
