These Regulations prescribe the dimensions of the notice and the size of the warning statement on the notice which, under section 8(1) of the Tobacco and Primary Medical Services (Scotland) Act 2010, must be displayed in any premises where a tobacco business is carried on (regulation 2).
The Protection from Tobacco (Display of Warning Statements) Regulations 1992 (“the 1992 Regulations”) are amended to omit regulation 2 (regulation 3). Regulation 2 of the 1992 Regulations prescribes the dimensions and size of statement in relation to notices in retail premises which is provided for in these Regulations. The 1992 Regulations remain in place to prescribe dimensions and size of statement in relation to notices on vending machines.
These Regulations (with the exception of regulation 4) were notified in draft to the European Commission in accordance with Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (Official Journal No. L 204, 21.7.98, p.37), as amended by Directive 98/48/EC of the same institutions (Official Journal No. L 217, 5.8.98, p.18), which lays down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations.
Regulation 4 amends the Sale of Tobacco (Register of Tobacco Retailers) Regulation 2010 to remove a redundant reference to trade tobacconist in regulation 3(d).
