KEEP PLAIN PAACKAGING FOR CIGARETTES IN THE GOVERNMENT PROGRAMME
According to the Sun and other newspapers, the Government looks likely to ditch the proposal for plain packaging of cigarettes.
Speaking about the forthcoming Queens Speech:
“A Whitehall source told The Sun: "Plain packaging may or may not be a good idea, but it's nothing to do with the Government's key purpose.
"The PM is determined to strip down everything we do so we can concentrate all our efforts on voter's essentials. That means growth, immigration and welfare reform."
Don't let the Conservative’s panic over UKIP damage the fight against cancer.
This petition can help demonstrate that plain packaging IS a voter priority.
The Government MUST include measures to implement plain packaging for cigarette packs in the forthcoming Queens Speech.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
