Cigarettes in Plain Packaging
Surely, if plain packaging became the law, anyone who was smoking from a coloured or fancy packet could have obtained them from illegal sources and should get some well-deserved third degree from the police.
Obviously, if there was no satisfactory explanation, as to how they obtained the fags, they would be confiscated.
The Anonymous Widower 
Unfortunately, many people teavel abroad and legitimately bring back cigarettes for themselves or others. Perhaps that should be stopped, and then your suggestion would work. It might not be popular with overseas visitors who would have to hand over their part used packs on entry to the UK.

That would be legitimate possession! But really, it’s the kids we want to stop smoking!
