Consultation description
The revised EU Tobacco Products Directive (2014/40/EU) will replace existing legislation on regulating the sale and manufacture of tobacco products and for the first time regulate e-cigarettes and herbal products. It will apply from 20 May 2016.
The UK has some flexibility in how it might choose to implement the new rules. The purpose of this consultation is to seek further information on the impact of the Directive and flexibilities to inform the government’s final decisions on implementation.
Alongside the consultation, we have also published a draft impact assessment and equality assessment.
