<p>The Government has not yet made a final decision on whether to introduce standardised
packaging for tobacco products. We held a United Kingdom-wide consultation on introducing
regulations for standardised packaging of tobacco products, which ran from 26 June
to 7 August. The consultation asked for new and relevant information that would help
in assessing the wider impact of plain packaging, including economic and other considerations.</p><p>The
consultation included 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. The consultation asked respondents
for further evidence or information which would improve the assumptions or estimates
made in the Impact Assessment.</p><p>The Government does not intend to run any further
consultations with regard to standardised packaging.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
