More Plain Packaging Information

Happy May Everyone!


The year seems to be flying by so fast at the moment! As you all know I’ve just turned 23 and I have lots of plans for the year ahead! One of those plans is to help make the Plain Packaging campaign a huge success! I have some more information about the campaign to share with you today. You can now sign our petition straight from my blog, scroll down to the bottom of the page and you will find it there! Every signature counts so please do sign if you support us and send the link to anyone else you think may be interested in supporting us. I will be joining my fellow ambassadors and the CRUK Campaigns team at Parliament on June 27th to discuss the campaign with MP’s in more detail so we really do need to get as much support as possible before then.


Cancer Research UK has released a shocking video to support the campaign, I strongly urge you to watch the video and see for yourself just how important this campaign is.


The video link is: http://youtu.be/c_z-4S8iicc  and if you have any questions please just shout let me know or contact CRUK directly.


They have also released numerous documents to show the effects of packaging on teenagers. Have a read of them, especially if you are dubious about the campaign. They are really informative and full of facts that are actually quite horrifying. The documents certainly highlight the important and significance of plain packaging.
