Health experts have condemned a series of cigarette packet covers which have been designed to cover government health warnings.
A company is marketing cigarette packet holders which allow smokers to forget that they are propelling themselves towards an early grave and a host of severe health problems.
While tobacco companies are forbidden from making cigarette cases which do not carry warnings, a legal loophole allows other companies to produce the holders.
