The noble Baroness’s amendment also seeks to raise public awareness of the harms of smoking and the benefits of quitting. We are committed to supporting and promoting smoking cessation. I hope that noble Lords have seen or heard our most recent national stop smoking campaign, launched earlier this month. This campaign is in addition to more than £150 million of ring-fenced funding to local stop smoking services each year until 2028-29. I hope that your Lordships’ House can understand why the Government will not accept these amendments and that the noble Lord, Lord Murray, will now feel able to withdraw his amendment.
