Neutral packs of cigarettes, olive in color, have appeared gradually since last May. It is a flagship measure of the Health Law of Marisol Touraine. Since the start of the year, no package with brand logo has been authorized for sale at tobacconists, who have moreover had time to organize. The objective of this measure is to reduce smoking among brand-sensitive young people, according to the government. Public health is "an issue that must concern us all," said Minister Touraine. The neutral package has been tested in Australia since December 2012. Note that last month, the Council of State rejected the appeals of tobacco manufacturers and tobacconists who challenged this measure. Tobacco kills more than 75.000 people each year in our country.
