I mentioned that I have some reservations, and I am not sure how to resolve them. Amendment 26 is worded such that it targets all nicotine products. One of my concerns throughout this Bill is the elision of, for example, vapes and tobacco. The generational smoking ban makes it clear that we are going to have special age-verification needs, whereas at the moment, age checking is already needed for young people and vaping. I do not want that to undermine public perception, such that vaping is seen to be exactly the same as smoking tobacco.
