This Order, which extends to Scotland only, amends the Tobacco Advertising and Promotion Act 2002 (Commencement) (Scotland) Order 2002 (“the 2002 Order”).

Article 2(2) commences section 19 of the Tobacco Advertising and Promotion Act 2002 (“the Act”) for the purposes of making Orders under that 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 transitional provisions are inserted as article 3 of the 2002 Order by article 2(6) of this Order.

An equivalent order is being made for England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
