Cigarette packets in Australia have undergone significant change. Since 1 December 2012 all forms of branding logos, colours, and promotional texts are banned from cigarette pack designs. In turn they were replaced with drab dark brown packets〔Rachel Wells (17 August 2012). (Does this colour turn you off? ). ''The Age''. Retrieved on 7 December 2012.〕 and graphic images of smoking-related images to try to reduce the smoking population of Australia to 10% by 2018 from 15% in 2012. Australia is currently the only country in the world to have plain packaging cigarette packs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ozvapour.com/are-electronic-cigarettes-legal-in-australia/ )〕 ==History== In 1973, Australia's first health warning on cigarette packages appeared with the simple message 'Warning—Smoking is a health hazard'.〔Scollo, Michelle & Haslam, Indra (2008). ("Attachment 12.1 Health warnings" ). Tobacco in Australia. Cancer Council Victoria. Retrieved 30 November 2012.〕 Since 1 March 2006, graphic images depicting the effects of smoking cigarettes have been required to be displayed on cigarette packets. Warnings must cover 30% of the front and 90% of the back of the box. The 10% of the back not occupied by a warning is used for the message "Sale to underage persons prohibited". Since 1 December 2012 all forms of branding logos, colours, and promotional texts are banned from cigarette pack designs. The requirement is for plain cigarette packaging showing only brand name and health warning messages. Australia is the first country in the world to have plain packaging cigarette packs.〔Richard Shears (28 April 2010). (Australia PM bans cigarette logos as he orders world's first 'plain packaging' anti-smoking scheme ). Includes example image. Mail Online. Associated Newspapers. Retrieved on 7 December 2012.〕 Canada was the first country to use graphic pictures in conjunction with written warnings on cigarette packages, with the legislation coming in 2005.〔Haines-Saah, R. J., Bell, K., & Dennis, S. (2015). A Qualitative Content Analysis of Cigarette Health Warning Labels in Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. American Journal Of Public Health, 105(2), e61-9. doi:10.2105/AJPH.2014.302362〕 In March 2015 Ireland became the first country in Europe to pass legislation requiring cigarettes to be sold in plain packets. In the same month the UK House of Commons also voted in favour of introducing standardised packaging for cigarettes in the UK; if the House of Lords approve the move, the UK will introduce plain packaging from 2016. Turkey's health minister announced that the plain packaging will be introduced in Turkey by January 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cigarette packets in Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
