Sir, – Minister for Health James Reilly’s new Bill to introduce plain packaging on cigarettes (“Reilly hails Bill on plain packaging for tobacco”, June 11th) will be welcomed by smugglers, and will result in further lost revenue to the State. This move will make it a lot easier for criminals to produce a plain package, resulting in an increase in contraband products, thus eroding further our tax take on tobacco products. – Yours, etc,
VINCENT DEVLIN,
Oakview Avenue,
Dublin 15.
