There have been recent missed opportunities in this area. The guidance around the disposable vapes ban failed to reach key audiences and left significant gaps, including in healthcare settings where those products are used for smoking cessation. That experience underlines the case for this amendment. As soon as the Bill receives Royal Assent, the Government should be engaging proactively with retailers, particularly those who may face additional challenges in understanding and implementing the new age of sale. That includes thinking seriously about accessibility—for example, how many languages the guidance and signage will be available in.
