Minister for Health James Reilly is to initiate new legislation which will compel tobacco companies to include combined text and photographic warnings on packaging.
Dr Reilly said he hoped the proposed legislation, which was discussed by Cabinet this week, will be enacted before the Oireachtas summer recess.
At an NUI Galway health promotion conference yesterday, he said existing legislation to curb tobacco smoking was “not tough enough” and described the tobacco industry as a “powerful enemy”.
