Plain packaging is perfect as it creates a lot of noise and does not reduce tobacco related incomes. Virtually everything tobacco control does follows this pattern. <br /><br />In that sense it works pretty well.Karl Fasbrackehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10413111410093492674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-82243896014900445892012-08-22T03:59:01.454+01:002012-08-22T03:59:01.454+01:00PM shares went down 1.57% today.
