Our concerns, however, can be summarised relatively easily: we want regulations to be grounded in evidence; they must not impose unnecessary burdens on retailers, especially corner shops and other small retailers; and they must not impose burdens on the hospitality sector. The regulations must also recognise the concerns of former smokers who rely on vape products and descriptors as part of their pathway from smoking and, therefore, must not ban products that might make smoking cessation more difficult. We welcome the commitment to a review of this Act after a reasonable period of years. That review will matter.
