Debate
Tobacco and Vapes BillContribution
I come to my third and final point. Heated tobacco works and it makes no sense to include it in the scope of the Bill. There is limited mention of heated tobacco in the impact assessment, despite its inclusion in the ban. I urge the Government to think again and consult on this product with experts, including manufacturers and consumers, before jumping to this misguided decision. Heated tobacco devices do not produce smoke and combustion, and have the potential to reduce the harms and prevalence of cigarette-smoking, which is at the root of adult smoking.
