This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
Evoke e-cigarettes are not listed on the NHS Prescription Services Drug Tariff. This means that they are not routinely prescribed on the NHS. We're therefore not sure what further action you want the UK Government or Parliament to take.
