Currently there are no plans to introduce such a ban. My immediate priority is to introduce the legislation required for the combined text and photo warnings on tobacco products. The matter will be considered by the Tobacco Policy Review Group which is expected to report to me shortly. I am also aware that Australia is giving consideration to this matter and will study the outcome of these measures within the constraints of current E.U policy.
