Plain wrappers will be a godsend to counterfeiters. It will also increase the likelihood that people will unknowingly smoke counterfeit cigarettes with the increased health risks that this will bring.
Very true. even the shopkeeper could intentionally sell you counterfeit B&H. that could pose a health risk to the unsuspecting public.

the criminal you buy your cheap tobacco from can now provide you with counterfeit and very toxic tobacco. under the guise of a plain packet.

well done the government.

Gone to check to see if there's any cool and funky looking cases flooding ebay yet.

Ones with flashing LEDs would be a good seller. schoolkids could sell them for a profit. and if you wanted one you just need to fill it with cigarettes and probably smoke them.

You could look at it as reverse psychology. where something that is forbidden/illegal/hard to get hold of suddenly becoming attractive?
