:06:16. > :06:18.the average smoker spends almost ?2,000 a year on the habit, it's
:06:19. > :06:21.claimed plain packets will hmprove Over
:06:22. > :06:33.the years huge efforts have been made to stop people smoking, from
:06:34. > :06:36.increasing the age it's legal to buy cigarettes to changing the law about
:06:37. > :06:40.where you can and can't do it. And most shops now have to keep
:06:41. > :06:43.their packets hidden away. Here in Hull it's estimated

:06:46. > :06:57.access the service do want to stop. They're motivated to quit btt they
:06:58. > :07:00.need the services and they need easy access to those services to give
:07:01. > :07:09.them the opportunities to quit. But now public health offichals here
:07:10. > :07:12.say they want to follow Australia's example and introduce non`branded
:07:13. > :07:14.packaging which, it's claimed, has What difference would this
:07:15. > :07:19.make to the city of Hull? Recent figures show more th`n
:07:20. > :07:21.60,000 tpeople smoke in Hull. Spending in total ?111 millhon

:07:24. > :07:27.introduced, with fewer people smoking it's estimated savings
:07:28. > :07:47.of 4.4 million could be made. Apparently are around 49% of people
:07:48. > :07:52.here still smoke, so what are some of them make of the idea of removing
:07:53. > :07:55.branding from cigarette packaging? It does not make any differdnce
:07:56. > :07:57.branding from cigarette packaging? It does not make any difference. You
:07:58. > :08:00.should remove all cigarettes from shops permanently. It will make no
:08:01. > :08:07.shops permanently. It will lake no difference at all. Plain packaging
:08:08. > :08:11.is not the only solution. We need to reduce the amount of
:08:12. > :08:15.illicit tobacco that is in the city. We need to look at how we can
:08:16. > :08:18.support people that want to stop smoking and we need to provide
:08:19. > :08:21.support for children to become much more resilient and make healthier
:08:22. > :08:28.choices. The Government still hasn't made a
:08:29. > :08:30.decision on standardised packaging. But with 51 children under
:08:31. > :08:33.the age of 15 taking up smoking every day in the Yorkshire
:08:34. > :08:36.and Humber region alone, calpaigners Earlier, I spoke to Simon Clark
:08:37. > :08:42.from the pro`smoking group Forest, who are part`funded
:08:43. > :08:44.by the tobacco industry. I asked him whether a change
:08:45. > :08:47.in packaging would stop young There is no evidence plain packaging
:08:48. > :08:53.would stop children smoking. Children don't start smoking
:08:54. > :08:55.because of the packaging. They start smoking because
:08:56. > :08:57.of peer pressure, because But the director of
:08:58. > :09:02.Public Health England says standardised packaging is a powerful
:09:03. > :09:04.measure that would help savd lives. The Australian Association
:09:05. > :09:13.of Convenience Stores says it has affected 70% of their members,
:09:14. > :09:19.and they are losing business. The other argument
:09:20. > :09:24.in Australia is since December 2012, they have seen the fastest decline
:09:25. > :09:27.in smoking rates for 20 years. Yes, but plain packaging was only
:09:28. > :09:34.brought in in December 2012, so you can't claim it's because
:09:35. > :09:36.of plain packaging. There's huge opposition
:09:37. > :09:38.in this country to plain packaging. We handed
:09:39. > :09:40.in over 50,000 letters to Downing Street from people who are opposed
:09:41. > :09:43.to it, and we're going to give the Department of Health a further
:09:44. > :09:54.petition of over 100,000 nales. If it has the potential to work,
:09:55. > :09:59.like in Australia, First of all, this government said
:10:00. > :10:05.it would only bring There's no evidence to
:10:06. > :10:10.suggest this will work. We have still got the display ban
:10:11. > :10:13.to be fully implemented and that The year after that,
:10:14. > :10:18.the EU will introduce a revised tobacco directive
:10:19. > :10:20.which will see health warnings We've got to do something to
:10:21. > :10:30.reduce the smoking rates. In this city alone, the numbers
:10:31. > :10:33.have not come down at all. The Government is already
:10:34. > :10:42.introducing a display ban. In 2016,
:10:43. > :10:45.health warnings will get larger Surely we have to wait
:10:46. > :10:48.and analyse the impact on those measures before introducing
:10:49. > :10:52.something like plain packaghng. Do we want to see plain packaging
:10:53. > :10:55.on alcohol or fatty foods or sugary This is a slippery slope and we
:10:56. > :11:01.have to say we don't want it. Do you think smokers are
:11:02. > :11:06.being stigmatised with this? You seem to be worrying mord
:11:07. > :11:08.about the newsagents that I made that point because
:11:09. > :11:12.Public Health England today have said it won't have any impact
:11:13. > :11:14.on newsagents, but if newsagents and local convenience
:11:15. > :11:17.stores go bust, it has a huge impact on people in rural areas and small
:11:18. > :11:26.villages, so it is important. I am concerned this is further
:11:27. > :11:29.stigmatisation of smokers. Tobacco is
:11:30. > :11:30.a completely legal product. Everybody is aware of the hdalth
:11:31. > :11:33.risks of smoking, they don't need These packets will be coverdd
