Australia to push for plain tobacco packaging at UN summit

Australia's Health Minister Nicola Roxon will be pushing for other countries to follow Australia and legislate for plain-packaged tobacco at a summit on disease prevention.

The minister is currently in New York for a United Nations summit looking at some of the West's biggest killers such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes - health issues that are also of increasing concern in the developing word.
