This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

The price of cigarettes is the responsibility of retailers, not the Government or Parliament. Companies which make cigarettes decide how many cigarettes to put in a pack.

If you would like the amount of tax on cigarettes to be lowered, you could start a new petition asking for that.

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