This Order, which does not apply to Scotland, amends the Tobacco Advertising and Promotion Act 2002 (Commencement) Order 2002 (“the 2002 Order”).

Article 2(2) commences section 19 for the purpose of making Orders under the Tobacco Advertising and Promotion Act 2002 (“the Act”).

Paragraphs (3) to (5) of article 2 amend the 2002 Order so that sections 2, 3, 9 and 10 of the Act do not come into force where the transitional provisions relating to brandsharing apply. Those provisions are contained in article 3 of the 2002 Order. Article 3 is inserted by article 2(6) of this Order.
