Prospective longitudinal study of tobacco company adaptation to standardised packaging in the UK: identifying circumventions and closing loopholes by Rosemary Hiscock, Anna B Gilmore, Karen A Evans-Reeves, Kathrin Lauber

“…This paper aims to assess compliance with the restrictions and identify attempts to continue to market tobacco products and perpetuate misperceptions of harm post legislation.Design, setting and intervention A prospective study of the introduction of standardised packaging of tobacco products to the UK.Participants and outcomes We analysed commercial sales data to assess whether the legally required changes in pack branding, size and name were implemented. To explore any adaptations to products and packaging we analysed sales data, monthly pack purchases of factory-made (FM) cigarettes and roll-your-own (RYO) tobacco, tobacco advertisements from retail trade magazines and articles on tobacco from commercial literature (retail trade, market analyst and tobacco company publications).Results One month after full implementation of the UK and European Union policies, 97% FM and 98% RYO was sold in compliant packaging. …”
