“When teenagers say ‘plain packaging isn’t working’ every other
indicator would say that it is,” University of Sydney health academic
Simon Chapman said.
Spinmeister Simon Chapman busy defending the indefensible as usual, I see.
I sometimes wonder if deep down he really knows that his pathetic plain packs are an abysmal failure or if he is so mesmerised by his own rhetoric that he actually believes that it is working. I guess probably the latter, sort of like those Jehovah's Witnesses who are utterly convinced of the righteousness of their proselytising crusades, oblivious to the realities of the world.
"Fake cigarettes also pose an increased fire risk" - goodness! really?
Yes, because they haven't got that untested crap on them that makes people cough blood.
Yet again, the quoted 12-17 year old smoking rates only goes up to 2010, whereas most of the other stats are to 2013.
