The Australian Parliament has passed legislation, to take effect in 2012, that bans the use of logos and brand imagery on cigarette packages (!!!) so the packaging will no longer look glamorous. They will also require they print larger health warnings with graphic pictures of the negative health effects of smoking. The brand names themselves be printed in a small, uniform font on dull olive green packets – a colour the government believes consumers will hate.

possibly graphic image under spoiler...
