Plain-packaged cigarettes; Patient Choice; Boots

You and Yours

Available for over a year

Could plain-packaging of cigarettes reduce rates of smoking? Public Health England thinks so. We hear the experience from Australia where it has already been tried. Remember "Patient Choice?" A health regulator says many NHS patients are not being offered the choice which was once promised. Boots, a mainstay of the British high street, has been sold to an American company. We ask what, if anything, might change? Producer: Louise Clarke-Rowbotham Presenter: Winifred Robinson.
