At a busy convenience store in Sydney, owner Joe Xia opens a cupboard to reveal his new stock of cigarettes. It is not a pretty sight.
The cigarettes come in mandatory olive-coloured plain packaging, as part of Australia’s anti-tobacco measures – labelled the toughest in the world.
Under this law, logos and brand colours are removed and replaced by graphic health warnings and shocking images of sick babies, and diseased feet, eyeballs and lungs. The cigarette brands are printed in identical small font on the front and top of cartons.
