The tobacco industry, which I know all about as a public health fanatic, played exactly the same game for 60 years. We banned smoking for children in 1908, and today 13% of the country still smokes. That is what we are looking at if we do not take the opportunity today to protect our children. We need to acknowledge the problem and create clear guardrails to protect our children. For that reason, I urge noble Lords to send a clear message to the Government by sending my noble friend Lord Nash’s amendment to the Commons with a clear vote.
