Tobacco Products Directive: One More Chance to Influence UK Government
We need your support – again.
Forest’s No Thank EU website has been updated and it now reads:
On October 8th 2013 MEPs voted to ban menthol cigarettes, prohibit ten packs, outlaw pouches of hand rolling tobacco below 20g, and increase the size of health warnings to cover 65 per cent of the pack or pouch.
The European Parliament, the European Commission and government ministers from the 28 member states are now negotiating the final text of the Tobacco Products Directive. It is still possible to influence the outcome but you MUST make your voice heard NOW.
Even if you have written to your MP already, please write againasking them to raise your concerns with the ministers representing the UK government in the current negotiations.
