Packs of 10 cigarettes, considered popular among younger smokers, will also be banned. Fourteen EU states already have 20 as the minimum, four stipulate a minimum of 19, and in the UK and Italy the minimum is 10.

There has been intense lobbying of MEPs by the tobacco industry and health campaigners. The Commission... Read More.

Europe United States Health care Smoking and tobacco Health and fitness E cigarettes are not entirely risk free. Little research has yet been done about their long term health effects. Nicotine is, in implausibly large doses, a poison. Even in small ones it is addictive and the amount of the chemical dispensed by e cigarettes varies from one brand to another.

The decision in a 2011 federal court case gives the Food and Drug Administration the authority to regulate e smokes under existing tobacco laws rather than as a medication or medical device, presumably because they deliver nicotine, which is derived from tobacco. The agency has hinted it will begin to regulate e smokes as soon as this year but so far, the only action the agency has taken is issuing a letter in 2010 to electronic cigarette distributors warning them to cease making various unsubstantiated marketing claims. For now, the devices remain uncontrolled by any governmental agency, a... Read More.

He also questioned the need for plain packaging legislation to remove any branding from packs, which is being considered in some EU countries, including the UK. Uniform or plain packs... Read More.
