Rejected petition Force the tobacco industry to lower the price of a pack of 17 cigarettes.

The tobacco industry have slowly reduced the amount of cigarettes in it's traditional pack of 20 to just 17. This has been done without a fair reduction in the price or any attempt to inform the public of the reduction.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

This is a decision for cigarette manufacturers and retailers. If you would like a change in the way that tobacco products are taxed, you could start a petition calling for that.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
