Plain Packaging is having little or no effect on smoking rates in Australia

A hopeful aversion process, Plain Packaging with 
larger warnings, first instigated in Australia, is not 
proving to have enough of an impact to expand it

the illegal cigarette trade while not decreasing the 
13% adult smoking rate. This is the first time since 
2009, the percentage has not decreased. This leaves 
the U.K., that was considering ruling in favor of 
Plain Packaging, unsure of its next move. This article
