Cigarettes sold in plain green packs under new rulesNew rules have come into force which mean cigarettes and tobacco must be sold in plain green packets and carry graphic health warnings.The rules, which also end the sale of packets of 10, are designed to deter young people from taking up the habit.Health groups have welcomed the measure, as the number of smokers in the UK continues to decline.Similar restrictions will apply to e-cigarettes and packets of rolling tobacco too. There will also be a ban on flavoured cigarettes and tobacco.
Over a quarter of flights to UK are delayed, research showsAnalysis of more than 850,000 inbound flights revealed that 26% failed to arrive within 15 minutes of their schedule last year. Canadian leisure airline Air Transat was the worst performer, with 45% of its flights late, followed by Icelandair (44%) and Norwegian (40%). Delayed passengers may be able to claim compensation under EU law, but if the disruption is caused by factors such as extreme weather or airport strikes they are unlikely to receive a payout. KLM was the most punctual airline in 2016, with just 12% of its flights arriving late.
