Description

The ban on menthol flavouring has generated the need for one-off testing to ascertain if identified cigarette brands are compliant with UK regulations. PHE has identified 27 cigarette products of interest which will require laboratory testing for the presence of menthol and its analogues, with a smaller number of products (5) also being tested for control purposes. As well as the presence of menthol and its analogues within cigarette emissions, PHE require a summary of the levels of such chemicals identified.
