Graphic images illustrating the devastating effects that tobacco can have on health will be printed on all tobacco packets from next year, the U.K. Health Secretary Alan Johnson announced today.
The 15 images to be used were chosen following a consultation in 2006, market research and a public vote. The move makes the UK the first country in the EU to introduce such visual warnings on all tobacco products aimed at raising awareness, helping smokers who want to quit and further reducing smoking related illnesses.
