Tbh even if did have a minor impact (I can't see it making any more than that) I wouldn't support it, the whole thing is just quite patronising and a further way to demonise smokers. I know this comparison is often made but nobody would advocate such stringent measures as have been placed on smoking on such things as alcohol or fatty foods, despite the deaths and problems they cause every year, the tobacco industry has just been disproportionately targeted because it is more convenient to do so. There is also the issue that it will make it easier for smugglers to counterfeit cigarettes, and it will cost a lot of jobs and money.
People have been bombarbed with health scares, cancer stories, and ever increasing prices for years, as well as having the areas where you can legally smoke severely restricted, enforcing plain packaging is just another pointless addition to the anti-smoking legislation
