Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 November 2025

Debate

Tobacco and Vapes Bill

Contribution

In many different sections of this Bill there are specific legislative carve-outs for specialist tobacconists and sampling rooms. The Minister has kindly accepted that point. I believe the Government have also accepted that this legislation is not intended to make changes to the status quo for people who legitimately engage in occasional cigar smoking as they do today. I cannot remember the exact form of words, but the Minister said effectively that in our previous session or the one before.
