Demand for cigarettes may fall

A bill proposing selling cigarettes only by a prescription from a doctor has been drafted in Iceland.

The proposal is part of a 10-year plan to cut smoking - already on the decline in Iceland - still further. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-14104546 The US government unveiled nine graphic images that will be required on all cigarette packs. They will be accompanied by messages such as, “Warning: Cigarettes are addictive,” “Warning: Cigarettes cause cancer” and “Warning: Smoking can kill you.” http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/new-graphic-cigarette-warnings-unveiled/2011/06/21/AGWwwLeH_gallery.html#photo=3
