Tobacco and Vapes BillContribution
If you buy a vape named “mango ice”—vapes commonly have such names—it will taste nothing like an actual mango. In regulating the flavour, you do not say anything about the flavour descriptor. Do the Government really want to start regulating flavours, which are, in any case, subjective? I have a partiality to blueberry ice vapes. They do not taste like blueberries— I can assure noble Lords of that—and they do not remind me of blueberries; they do not make me feel like I am enjoying a blueberry. This is true to the extent that, when I go to reorder them, I have to look on the box to remind myself what the flavour I like is called. It is called blueberry, but it certainly has no relation to blueberries.
