Once upon a time, I thought that nicotine replacement was a useful route. However, it did not occur to me that it would be abused. How naive I was. A recent study from King’s College London found that plain packaging on vapes reduced their appeal to young people but did not affect their appeal to adult smokers who were seeking to use them for smoking cessation. It feels like this principle could hold for packaging on the products and is exactly the kind of evidence-based policy-making that noble Lords have been seeking. It would be good to hear from the Minister whether the Government intend to regulate products in this way.
