Agreed with Underdogger.

The new health warning signs under plain packaging will be much bigger, which means using more colours and more expensive printing

And more revenues for printing companies.

If govt reduces the no of cigarettes to be sold in each pack, then it is even better Many more smaller packs with bigger health warning signs...

In an era of widespread bans on tobacco advertising, seductive packaging remains the last place where what Chapman calls "semiotic signalling" is maintained. Replace those colourful packets with nothing but a plain colour, the manufacturer's name and a massive health warning, and many people will stop buying the premium brands, he argues.

Pls take a look at the new types of packaging

Triangular – looks to be much more complicated than the traditional box

The health regulator intent to develop a cigarette box shape that makes it less enticing to smokers might actually work to the advantage of printing companies…

More complicated shapes and design of boxes, more realistic colours needed for health warnings; cigarette sold in much smaller packets, etc
