Plain packaging is coming into force and there is a proposal to ban menthol cigarettes.
Menthol cigarettes makes up a large percentage of smokers and has existed for almost a hundred years.
Ban other flavours but make an exception for menthols like the US.

- Halt any new anti-tobbaco law for at least 10 years
- Don't allow cigarette prices to reach £15 by 2020
