According to CBC news, following up on the recent ban on cigarette advertising and marketing handed down in Australia, which has come to include logo-free cigarette packages, a group of Montreal teenagers are taking action, wanting Quebec follow in Australia\'s anti-smoking footsteps.
Australia\'s government introduced a legislation last week that would include a ban on cigarette logos and brand-specific coloured packaging- yet another step to discourage smokers.
A group of Montreal teenagers now looking to Quebec to follow the same steps staged a fashion show that addressed the seductive marketing tobacco companies aim at young, fashion-savvy consumers.
According to CBC, the models, dressed in bright and modern clothes, made their way down the runway, while the announcer threw out descriptors like \'sleek,\' \'classic,\' and \'innovative\'- words often used in the marketing of cigarettes.
