Little support for standardized packs in Denmark

Most members of the Danish parliament are against the imposition of standardized cigarette packs, according to a story in Dansk Handelsblad.

A survey conducted by the newspaper among the parties that make up the Danish parliament had shown that only one, the Socialist People’s Party (SPP), would like to see the introduction of standardized cigarette packs.

The SPP sees the imposition of such packs as being part of efforts to prevent young people from starting to smoke.

The other parties felt that it should be left up to the companies to design their products.
