I also pay tribute to my noble friend Lord Lindsay and other noble Lords who have consistently and cogently made the case for specialist tobacconists throughout this process. These are small, responsible businesses serving adult consumers, some of whom travel specifically to London from all over the world to sample and purchase high-value hand-crafted cigars. These cigars are quite distinct and much less affordable than cigarillos and machine-made cigars that form part of the mass tobacco market this Bill principally targets. I hope the Government will continue to bear that distinction in mind as secondary legislation is developed.
