Debate

Tobacco and Vapes Bill

Contribution

New clause 16—my second new clause—would introduce a ban on online sales, which is not currently covered under the Bill. I understand that that would be rather unique for the UK, as there is not currently a product available for sale in bricks and mortar shops that cannot be purchased online. However, we would by no means be the first country to do so: Brazil, Mexico, Finland, our neighbours in France, and Greece, to name but a few, have all banned the sale of tobacco products via the internet.
