In his amendments, the noble Lord, Lord Udny-Lister, has helpfully identified many types of images that we would not want to see on these devices. I quite agree with him that they have no place on vapes. However, I do not share his confidence that we can list the types of packaging in this way and outmanoeuvre the advertising, vaping and tobacco industries. They are well-funded and inventive. I note the beautiful bright colours on this advert. We have so often seen the industry find loopholes, as the noble Lord, Lord Bethell, mentioned last time in relation to cigarillos. We do not want the department to be several steps behind it, endlessly seeking to catch up and bringing forward regulations that say that this type of blue is to be banned but some other type is not to be banned. We can do without that.
