Labour — Bolton West

Speaking in the House of Commons on 26 November 2024

Debate

Tobacco and Vapes Bill

Contribution

I thank the right hon. Member for his contribution. I will take assurance from the Minister on that when he winds up. I place on record my enthusiasm for the separate ban on single-use vapes from June 2025, which the hon. Member for Newbury (Mr Dillon) mentioned. As other Members have noted, not only are they particularly cheap and therefore accessible to young adults, but they are an inefficient use of critical resources, difficult to recycle and frequently littered around the countryside. By introducing these world-leading reforms, we can create a smokefree generation and break the cycle of addiction and disadvantage. I am proud that it is a Labour Government who are delivering this legislation.
