Cigars, pipe tobacco and snuff are included in this legislation because it is very tough to legislate against the egregious and profiteering tobacco industry that we have in this country. I call on the Minister to think about ways in which, in the impact assessment that noble Lords have rightly suggested, the Government might seek to engage the cigarette industry in some kind of self-restraining agreement to stand down from any exploitation of the cigarillo loophole.
