I shall say a little on the self-regulation point. It is hugely important that our enthusiasm to promote public health does not end up in an anti-business atmosphere emerging and we do not end up with the Government overreaching when it comes to regulation, which I do not think they intend to do. Rather, they should put themselves in a situation where they can work with the vaping industry in a similar way as they do with the alcohol industry. There are of course people in public health who would lecture about alcohol just as they would about smoking, but they are the same people who also think that we should not have sugar in our tea: there are not many areas of joy in life that they would not want to overregulate out of existence.
