Plain packaging for tabacco products got introduced to Parliament this week.

Presumably the principal being to stop branding and to some degree stop false representation (i.e red ciggy boxes aren't for sportsmen, gold ones with crowns aren't for classy old folks)

So - what else shoud be in plain packaging for the same reasons ?

I reckon political manisfestos.

You know everything in them is a lie and despite the outer colour they are all the same on the inside. They should also contain the warning covering 75% of the packet - "The contents of this manisfesto are lies and will harm your health, pocket and freedom"

What about board shorts for kiters ?

They should be plain olive green not red and yellow polka dot and the warning should be "The contents of this package is not as awesome as it may first seem"

Isn't drinking worse for the public than cigarettes. Bad hangovers make you buy bad boardies.

I must admit, I booked my first kitesurfing lesson when I was hungover.

See what happens bjw!!

kites too should be plain! I bought a kite and it tryed to kill me twice! If it had been of plain color I would not have bought it!... was a pretty one!

plain packaging is gonna suck,

imagine scabbing a durrie when you're three sheets to the wind and you end up with a menthol...
