Rejected petition Allow menthol cigarettes to remain legal

EU legislation proposes that menthol cigarettes will be banned from 2020, a year after we leave the EU. We believe that menthol cigarettes should remain legal in the UK.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

This is an EU law. You could start a new petition asking for the UK Government to work with other EU member states to change the TPD, and/or to change UK law on tobacco products after the UK leaves the EU.

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