Plain Packaging Spells Doom for Big Tobacco

6:17 AM |



The continuous struggle which the tobacco industry faces with organizations that garner anti-smoking sentiment is becoming something of a routine these days. It has left them in hot waters on many occasions In fact for the last five decades it is safe to suggest the tobacco industry is in decline.
Recent developments will add further misery to this already deteriorating industry. Both the governments of Australia and England are seriously considering forcing tobacco companies to sell their products (Cigarettes) in plain packing. This will help in a reduction in the number of new people who smoke especially children. This may be good news for the social groups who advocate stricter laws against the tobacco industry but for the industry this will lead to definite reductions in its long term revenue. This will deprive the companies in the tobacco industry of a vital tool in the shape of marketing. Tobacco companies are well aware of the importance of packing in order to attract new people to smoking. If these laws are successfully materialized, tobacco industry will have to operate with virtually zero marketing; operating successfully under such conditions is a mammoth task in its own right.
