BAT UK urges retailers to join the government consultation on nicotine product regulations, stressing their vital input.Summary
BAT UK is urging retailers to participate in the UK government's consultation on proposed regulations for vaping products, nicotine pouches and other nicotine products, which includes restrictions on displays, packaging and flavour descriptions, as well as measures to prevent youth access.
The company warns that a six‑month implementation period for a display ban could affect store operations and cites an impact assessment predicting over £420 million in vape‑retailer profit losses by 2036; it also notes forthcoming changes such as a vape tax, retail licensing and the generational smoking ban, and stresses that retailer feedback is essential to ensure regulations are practical and proportionate.
