Tobacco and Vapes BillContribution
There is apparently a further consequence arising from Part 1 of the Bill. Under the generational ban, would a theatre employee purchasing cigarettes on behalf of an actor, perhaps to be used as a stage prop, be committing an offence if the actor was born on or after 1 January 2009? That is a genuine operational concern that will be raised by theatres, film studios and producers, and I think we owe it to them to clarify that question.
