Cigarettes Information

Glen Trouchet made this Freedom of Information request to Department of Health

This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.

The request was refused by Department of Health.

Dear Department of Health,

Please can you tell why there is no nicotine or tar percentages listed on cigarettes boxes? I am buying cigarettes blindly. Why are there no lighter cigarettes on the market?

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

Glen Trouchet
