WHO publication on plain packaging of tobacco products

In 2012, Australia became the first country to implement laws requiring plain (standardized) packaging of tobacco products. Since then, France, Ireland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland have passed laws and other countries have initiated legislative processes.
The interest in plain packaging and the tobacco industry’s intense opposition to plain packaging has also generated demand for information. Recently the World health organisation (WHO) published a report that seeks to address that demand by compiling information on plain packaging of relevance to all WHO Member States and by identifying important resources that provide further detail on specific issues.
