MPs will vote on a law introducing plain packaging in England and Wales before May's general election, meaning packs like these could be on shop shelves by 2016. Scotland and Northern Ireland are expected to follow suit in their respective chambers.
Doctors argue that the standardised packaging, already in use in Australia since 2012, could reduce the appeal of cigarettes to young people, saving thousands of lives.
