The sale of menthol flavoured tobacco will be prohibited from 20 May 2020. This measure was provided for in the European Union (Manufacture, Presentation and Sale of Tobacco and Related Products) Regulations 2016 which transposed EU Directive 2014/40/EU on the manufacture, presentation and sale of tobacco and related products ('the Tobacco Products Directive').
