Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 November 2025

Debate

Tobacco and Vapes Bill

Contribution

I feel that I have to reiterate that all tobacco products are harmful to health. That includes heated tobacco. The vast majority of people, around 99%, aged over 16 in England do not currently use heated tobacco. Just because someone is present in an over-18 setting does not mean that they are content to be exposed to these second-hand harms, as I have previously said. I reiterate that this is of particular concern for medically vulnerable people, whose conditions may not be visible to the heated tobacco user—for example, those who have asthma.
