FR: Introductie regelgeving neutrale sigarettenverpakkingen

A law has been passed in the French Parliament, which introduces plain packaging for cigarettes. The new rules will see neutral packaging for the tobacco products, which will come in uniform size and colour with the brand name in small font and uniform typeface. Logos for the brands are also to be removed from the packets.
The initiative intends to reduce the numbers of smokers, especially teenagers. The new packaging law for cigarettes will be put into effect from May next year. However, tobacco companies have voiced their protest against the regulations and have threatened to move ahead with legal action (Nieuwsbericht packaging-gateway.com, 27 november 2015).
