Wat is uw reactie op het voornemen om de standaardverpakking voor sigaretten en shag in te voeren teneinde een rookvrije generatie te realiseren?
The European Smoking Tobacco Association, ESTA, does not believe plain packaging is a proportionate measure to achieve the stated aim of the Dutch government. Evidence shows that plain packaging will not have the impact on tobacco use as admitted by the French Health Minister, but will impact on the legitimate tobacco market and its smaller and mid-sized companies. Competition on quality between identifiable brands is made impossible and competition on price, as observed in Australia, will drive the future market with all its consequences.
