Plain cigarette packaging

Sir, – Perhaps the welcome introduction of legislation on new cigarette packaging will take the heat out of all the criticism levelled at Minister for Health James Reilly (“Ireland leads EU on plain packaging of cigarettes”, June 11th). I was beginning to think he had reached burnout, but now he will probably go out in a blaze of glory. – Yours, etc,
