DHSC are conducting a post-implementation review looking at the tobacco legislation introduced between 2010 and 2016. The review considers how effective tobacco legislation has been in:
- discouraging young people from taking up smoking and vaping
- encouraging existing smokers to quit
- protecting others from the harmful effects of cigarette smoke
The legislation introduced during this time includes bans on:
- displaying tobacco products and prices in shops
- selling nicotine-inhaling products, including e-cigarettes, to under 18s
- buying nicotine-inhaling products on behalf of someone under 18 (proxy purchasing)
- smoking in cars containing children
