The Public Health (Nicotine Inhaling Products) Bill will, among other things, restrict the colours and imagery used on nicotine inhaling products and their packaging.

This follows the implementation of similar measures in EU Member States like Finland and Denmark.

The Bill is currently being drafted with the Office of the Attorney General. Once completed, the draft legislation will require notification at EU level under the EU Technical Standards Directive.
