Holyrood ‘will not back away’ on tobacco pack plan
THE Scottish Government “will not back away” from introducing plain packaging for tobacco, Scotland’s public health minister has vowed.
Michael Matheson said a consultation on the proposal would be launched within a matter of months, stressing “evidence is clear” that plain packaging
prevented young people from taking up smoking.
The SNP pledge comes two months after UK ministers announced they were shelving plans to introduce the scheme in England until similar measures in Australia could be properly evaluated.
