The law that mandates the new packaging was activated today and is the first of its kind in the world. Australia hopes to deter young people from smoking with the horrific packaging.

The Australian government based its decision to revamp cigarette packages on information obtained from a study that indicates that people who haven’t smoked by the time they are 26 will most likely never smoke.

Cigarette manufacturers have tried to appeal the new law at a higher court but were not successful. They claimed that the new packaging is an invasion of their intellectual copyrights.
