A crucial step towards a new law on tobacco by a Yorkshire MEP has been passed. Linda McAvan was responsible for guiding the legislation through the European Parliament. The proposals include a ban on flavoured cigarettes. 65 per cent of the surface of packaging will be covered in text and picture health warnings if the plans are now backed by ministers. But MEPs rejected her proposal, backed by the government, for e-cigarettes to be regulated as medical products. Instead MEPs voted for more lax controls on their manufacture and sale.
