Other tobacco products (OTP) such as cigars, cigarillos, loose and chewing tobacco are the next targets in the federal government's plain-packaging campaign.

The expansion of the plain, olive green packaging to go beyond cigarettes was the result of a consultation paper released by Health Minister Nicola Roxon on Monday, reportst New Zealand Herald. 
The new consultation will help the government develop regulations on how that legislation, once law, would apply to products other than cigarettes.
Aside from plain packaging, the new rules would ban the inclusion of company brand or logo, but would still contain the graphic health warnings.
The import of OTP products that are manufactured abroad would be allowed without the plain packaging. (pi)
