Reply to: Plain package cigarette boxes - boomed!

Actually, I wonder if these laws affect very expensive cigars also?

And buying loose tobacco and papers. And pipe tobacco.

Actually quite an interesting question IMO.

I rest my case.

Is it plain case?

On that logic, everyone in Chinese cities should be suffering from Pulmonary or airborne diseases.

I rest my case.

Reprint old ones like (as previous poster suggested) Craven A ... or even old ones like Woodbines.

Then, you buy your unbranded cigs, transfer into the old school box .. and Bobs Your Uncle.

Ice breaker outside the office. Something to chat about when you offer someone a cig outside the bingo. A few laughs shared outside the local pub over a pint.

You'd have to make new ones as Craven, Woodbine, Capstan et. al. were shorter (no filter) and either wider or thinner....

Any company, selling anything, would oppose a law that bans them from designing their own packaging.

What about OEMs?

According to today's health scare in DM we are all at risk from things around the house. Got me so worried now I may even clean the toadstools off the inside of my windows.

I bet the stress they cause with all these alarmist articles is a carcinogen in its own right.

Except that that isn't true. Look at Londoners - always sniffling the weaklings.

What about transfer stickers instead?

Applicable to the plain cigarette box packaging to revitalise it.

When the 'big' health warnings were introduced, someone marketed stickers you could put over them. My favourite one was "Post-coital smoking passes the time until her taxi comes"

Oh. That's also a fact. Just like how people in places with dirty air are more sickly than those living somewhere clean. Probably the "low-level abrasion" of your immune system 24/7 leaves you weaker or something.

Alternatively, people in places with dirty air have better immunity than people who live in Hebden Bridge. Human body, adaptation to surroundings and all that bollox.

What about selling Nicorette branded empty cigarette boxes

One could deploy ones cigarettes into the Nicorette box.
