Menthols, menthol rollies and skinny cigarettes will be banned under new smoking laws from May 20. The ban will also see the production of click dual cigarettes – such as Sterling Dual – that change from normal to menthol, stopped.

It's part of a four-year phasing-out period that stems from the new EU Tobacco Product Directive laws, which entered into force on May 19, 2014, and became applicable in EU countries on May 20, 2016. So far, flavoured cigarettes were restricted to packs of 20 but they'll be totally outlawed in the next few weeks.
