Organised crime could benefit from change in cigarette laws, says Bury North MP David Nuttall
GANGSTERS could benefit when branding is removed from cigarette packaging, Bury North’s MP believes.David Nuttall made the point during a question-and-answer session in Parliament on March 2.From this May, all cigarette packet makers must ensure the packaging is plain with no graphics, save for warnings about the damaging effects cigarettes can have.
The ‘standardised’ packaging will be gradually phased in and made compulsory in May 2017.
It follows the introduction of a Parliamentary Act aimed at dissuading young people from taking up smoking.
