Closed Delay the ban on Menthol Cigarettes until after the COVID-19 Pandemic

Closed on

Delay that the legislation scheduled to be put into place on May 20th is moved until after the COVID-19 Pandemic has come to an end.

Cigarettes are a luxury item, and are consumed by many people in order to help them relax. During these times of hardship, it should be crucial for people to be able to relax within their own homes.

A ban on Menthol Cigarettes could also have an impact on the economy, which would be harmful at this given time considering we need to protect our NHS.
