The Niche Tobacco Products Directory has been constructed with the support of council trading standards services across England and Wales. Local Government Regulation hopes it will provide a good source of reference material and help councils and others to effectively regulate this market in a practical way , avoiding duplication of effort.
Access is easy: just log onto www.ntpd.lacors.gov.uk and browse the directory.
The Directory is supported by both the Department of Health and Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs as an aide for regulators, health professionals and businesses offering advice and information about the diverse nature of niche tobacco products and of the legislation that applies to them.
The directory will be reviewed and updated on a regular basis to ensure that any changes in the supply of these products is reflected in a timely manner, for example by the inclusion of new products as they arise.
Particular thanks to LOTSA (London trading Standards Authorities), SWERCOTS (South West chief Trading Standards Officers) and TSNW (Trading Standards North West) for their support in the development of the content.
