Explained in plain English

What is 'plain packaging'?

Plain packaging refers to standardised packaging for products like e-cigarettes, removing brand logos, colours, and promotional imagery. It's often proposed to make products less appealing, especially to young people. Paediatricians suggest this, alongside flavour limits, to curb the appeal of vapes to teenagers.
