Have Your Say! Tobacco and Vapes Bill 2026
August 26, 2026
With the Tobacco and Vapes Act 2026 now in force, the government is consulting on further regulations covering the packaging, appearance and retail display of vaping and nicotine products. Read on to understand what the consultation is proposing, what it could mean for you and how you can have your say.
What is the government consultation about?
The proposed new packaging, appearance, and display rules’ main aim is to discourage underage vaping by making vapes appeal less to young people aesthetically.
The consultation is asking for views on a range of proposed changes to the packaging and appearance of vapes and nicotine products, as well as how they are displayed in shops.
Just some of the proposed changes the government are currently seeking feedback on include:
- Restrictions on how vape flavours are described, including names linked to sweets, desserts, alcohol and drinks.
- Changes to packaging, including its colours, branding, images and overall design.
- Changes to how vape kits can look, including their colours, branding, images, lights and display screens.
- Restrictions on where and how vaping and nicotine products can be displayed in shops across the UK.
The consultation also considers how these proposed requirements could apply across different types of vaping and nicotine products and how they could be implemented.
How can I have my say?
To complete the consultation visit this form on Gov.UK.
You can answer the questions in as much detail as you would like, either simply checking the extent to which you agree or disagree with a proposal or (optionally) writing some more about why you agree / disagree. You are also able to skip sections that you may not have an opinion on.
Anyone can respond to the consultation, including members of the public, retailers, industry representatives, health organisations and local authorities. You do not need to be directly affected by the proposals to provide your views.
Vapers can share their views on the proposals and help inform the government’s decisions about future regulations.
If you want to understand the proposed legislation in full, take a look at the full government documentation here. Don’t worry if you don’t have time though, you can still fill the consultation out as each question gives a little bit of context to make it easy to understand in layman’s terms.
