Tobacco and Vapes BillContribution
This updates an existing power in the Health Act 2006, and having an exemption to allow performers to smoke during a performance is not new. The noble Earl, Lord Howe, gave an example about purchasing of cigarettes. My expectation is that a production company that was purchasing cigarettes for use on set would be regarded as a business-to-business transaction and, therefore, would not be in the scope of the smoke-free generation policy.
