Standardised packaging of tobacco products: draft regulations

Seeks views on the proposed draft regulations for standardised packaging on tobacco products.

Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk
Detail

In April 2012, a public consultation sought feedback from those with an interest in the policy of standardised packaging for tobacco products

The Government has not yet made a final decision on whether to introduce standardised packaging.

The purpose of this consultation is to seek the views of interested people, businesses and organisations, with a focus on gaining any additional information relevant to standardised packaging that has arisen since the 2012 consultation.

The consultation includes draft regulations so it is clear how requirements for standardised packaging would work in practice. Alongside the consultation, we have also published an updated consultation-stage Impact Assessment and Equalities Analysis.

We welcome responses from any interested person, business or organisation.
