Petition Action

Pack cigarettes upside down to eliminate risk of corona transferred to mouth

Petition Details

I would like the government to ask cigarette manufacturers to pack the cigarettes upside down in the boxes,this reduces the risk of coronavirus being transmitted to your mouth, the way cigarette are packed now the risk of transmitting the virus to your mouth from the cigarette butt is high

Additional Information

Simply to reduce smokers from contracting coronavirus, a simple change in the way cigarettes are packed can save thousands of people from contracting the virus, if the cigarettes are packed end side up there’s little chance of the virus finding your mouth because the side of the cigarette you touch to pull out gets burnt when you light up a cigarette
