Australia said Thursday it will force tobacco companies to strip all logos and color from their packaging, a move that will leave cigarette packs decorated with only a few words and graphic warning images of shriveled, diseased lungs or gangrenous toes.

The government said the move would make Australia the world’s toughest country on tobacco advertising and is aimed unashamedly at driving more people away from the habit.
