Today, I practiced conversation in English with new teacher, Daniel and three people. We talked about smoking. Have you ever smoked? I have never. I don't like a cigarette. I think that smoking is one of the cause which people get cancer. What do you think?
The Australian government has angered the leading international cigarette brands. It has ordered companies to remove the branding from their cigarette packets. This means from January the 1st, 2012, there could be no logos on cigarette packs. All cigarette boxes will be a dull, olive green colour that was specially chosen because people thought it was so unattractive. In addition, all product names will be the same size, colour and font. Politicians believe that taking away brand appeal will reduce smoking.
Tobacco giant Philip Morris, maker of the world's leading cigarette brand Marlboro, wants to sue the Australian government. They say the new packaging means there is unfair competition. They point out that the law says logos are property and thus their property is being attacked. Companies have been angry for some time because of the gory and graphic pictures they have to put on their boxes alongside health warnings. Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard said "We've made the right decision and we'll see it through."
I agree to put on pictures about disease. I think that smoker feel that smoking is not good for health and Japan should do measures to reduce smokers as well as Australia.
