Written Question
Tobacco: Packaging
Tuesday 5th January 2016

Asked by: Tania Mathias (Conservative - Twickenham)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of the potential benefits of putting health warnings on cigarette packaging in different languages as well as English.

Answered by Jane Ellison

No assessment has been made of the putting health warnings on cigarette packaging in different languages as well as English. The labelling of tobacco products is harmonised at European Union level and mandates that the official language of the Member State is used on health warnings for tobacco. In the United Kingdom the official language is English.


Local Stop Smoking Services may choose to publish smoking cessation materials in a range of languages if they consider it beneficial to the local population.
