Key Terms
Definition
“Characterising flavour” means a smell or taste other than one of tobacco which—
(a) is clearly noticeable before or during consumption of the product; and
(b) results from an additive or a combination of additives, including, but not limited to, fruit, spice, herbs, alcohol, candy, menthol or vanilla.
Analysis
The definition of "characterising flavour" is significant because the law prohibits cigarettes with a characterizing flavor.
