I will make a couple of further points. There is an interesting question about the relationship of the tobacco industry with the vaping industry. Those who are coming together are presently working, for example, on a code of conduct for flavour descriptors, which we discussed earlier. It may be a very effective way of managing exactly that issue. The groups have thus far excluded from their operations companies which have tobacco industry equity participation. They take the view—which I agree with and hope the Government do too—that, because of the nature of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, we should extend that control to tobacco companies operating through the vaping industry. So long as we have the retailers and the distributors on board, we do not suffer from the problem of not having 100% of the vape production industry on board.
