British legislators want to require tobacco manufacturers to print the death message of smoking on every cigarette
News on October 22, according to foreign news reports, British legislators hoped to require tobacco manufacturers to print on every cigarette the message that smoking kills.
Members of Congress have submitted amendments to the Health and Care Act to Parliament, which will allow the Minister of Health to enforce such warnings.
"We know that cigarettes will kill half of the people who use them. So I hope that the health warnings on cigarettes will first prevent people from being tempted to smoke, especially young people."
Labour MP Mary Kelly Foy, who supports this initiative, said.
Foy's amendment will also allow the Minister of Health to:
Raise the legal age for buying cigarettes from 18 to 21.
Stop e-cigarette manufacturers from using strategies that may entice children to try, such as sweeteners and cartoon characters.
It is illegal to give away e-cigarettes as sample products for free.
Authorize the government to impose new taxes on the profits of tobacco companies, and the proceeds will be used to fund smoking cessation activities.
The project is supported by Cancer Research UK and the Royal College of Physicians.
Simon Clark, the head of the pro-smoking organization, criticized Foy's proposal.
"These old and boring ideas have existed for many years," he said in a statement. "The reason they have not been adopted in the UK is that there is no evidence that they will significantly reduce smoking rates or prevent young people from smoking."
"Everyone knows the health hazards of smoking. Every pack of cigarettes has a large number of health warnings that should not be missed, including weird pictures of smoking-related diseases."
He added: Taxation of tobacco companies will disproportionately harm less wealthy smokers, because it will inevitably be passed on to consumption that has already paid punitive tobacco tax rates.
