<description><![CDATA[Plain cigarette packaging is effective and should lead to 300,000 fewer smokers in the first year after being introduced in the UK, a major new study suggests.<br/><br/>Data from Australia, which imposed the policy in 2012, found that restricting the colour, size and font on packages was associated with a noticeable drop in the number of people smoking in the first 12 months.<br/><br/>Other data reviewed by the researchers suggested that plain packaging prompts a four per cent increase in attempts to quit <A href="www.usasmoking.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Cheap Cigarettes</a>, and makes it less likely non-smokers will choose to start <A href="www.cigarettesss.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Tobacco Shop</a>.<br/><br/>Dr Jamie Hartmann-Boyce, from Oxford University, who co-wrote the Cochrane review of previous studies, said: "Our evidence suggests that standardised packaging can change attitudes and beliefs about smoking <A href="www.cigarettesno1.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Newport Cigarettes Website</a>, and the evidence we have so far suggests that standardised packaging may reduce smoking prevalence and increase quit attempts."<br/><br/>The team found that the number of people smoking as a proportion of the Australian population a year after plain packaging came into effect decreased by 0.5%.<br/><br/>A comparable impact in the UK would mean a combination of 300,000 extra people quitting or not taking up smoking, in addition to the overarching decline of the habit <A href="www.cartonsofcigarettes.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Newport Cigarettes</a>.<br/><br/>In Australia, packets already displayed disturbing graphic health warnings before 2012, suggesting the accelerated dip in smoking was specifically due to the less colourful and interesting packaging.<br/><br/>The new UK rules <A href="www.wholesalecheapcigarettes.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Marlboro Lights</a>, which derive from EU regulations <A href="www.cigscoupons.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Wholesale Cigarettes</a>, mean cigarettes can only be sold in cuboid-shaped packages of a single colour, with a flip top rather than hinged lid and uniform font.<br/>Related articles:<br/> <A href="http://www.redcasper.com/blogs/post/3009" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Cheapest Cigarettes Online Free Shipping</a><br/><br/> <A href="http://www.bsh-ridercare.com/blog-e85574-Wheelchair-mobility-at-the-tip-of-the-tongue.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Tobaccoonline</a>]]></description>
