PHE has identified 27 cigarette products of interest which will require laboratory testing for the presence of menthol and its analogues, with a smaller number of products (5) also being tested for control purposes. As well as the presence of menthol and its analogues within cigarette emissions, PHE require a summary of the levels of such chemicals identified.
