 Changes to the tobacco law: the six new rules on cigarettes and tobacco explained  

 As of May 21, smokers will not be able to buy a pack of 10 cigarettes after the coming into force of a new law. 

 Laws, which were introduced to discourage young people from starting the habit, will be enacted within 12 days following a decision last year that cigarette manufacturers Must stop production of 10 packets. 

 In addition to small packages of cigarettes produced, stores will be prohibited from selling tobacco packages of 10g or 20g with 30g being the new minimum, cigarettes with fruity flavors will be prohibited and packs of cigarettes will be packed and decorated with The opaque layer "the ugliest of the color of the world". 



 Mental cigarettes are also eliminated but at a slower pace. It is expected that they will no longer be available by 2020. 

 The decision came into force in May 2016, allowing cigarette companies to receive one year to eliminate production. 

 Last month, the Supreme Court denied tobacco companies authorize the appeal of inbound rules on standardized packaging. 

 Prohibition of 10 packages means that the cheapest package of cigarettes available at the purchase will cost £ 8.82. Previously, Hazel Cheeseman, director of Action Policy on Smoking and Health, told The Independent that the evidence suggests "the best way to reduce tobacco consumption." 

 It is estimated that less than one in five adults in the UK smokes now. Each year, about 96,000 people in the United Kingdom die from illnesses related to the habit.
