Cigarettes to be sold in plain packaging as minister says smoking is "cruel waste of human potential"

Public Overall health Minister Jane Ellison has announced to the House of Commons that outlets will only sell cigarettes in plain packaging in England, calling smoking a “cruel waste of human likely”.

Her anouncement follows the outcomes of an independent report which she said exhibits plain packaging would be really likely to have a “constructive impact on public overall health.”

The government should consider “every single effective measure we can” to minimize the number of smokers in the nation, she additional.

Nevertheless her comments prompted cries of “shame” from Tory backbenchers, who described the move as a “nanny state” measure rather than a Conservative 1.
