Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 February 2026

Debate

Tobacco and Vapes Bill

Contribution

A lot has been said on retail enforcement, which I strongly support. For those noble Lords who have not been to a shop recently while looking younger than their years, I mention that, if you are anywhere near 18, 19 or 20 and attempt to buy tobacco, a lottery product, a knife, a firework or alcohol, you will be asked for proof of age, even if you are in your 20s, 30s or 40s. Noble Lords may not believe me, but I sometimes get carded as well.
