The government is to announce an independent review of cigarette packaging in England amid calls for action to discourage young smokers.
David Cameron appeared to distance himself from plain packaging in July, saying further evidence was needed to show whether it would be effective.
But No 10 sources say the issue would be looked at again and the government was "open-minded" about what to do.
Labour and health campaigners have called for plain packaging.
