Speaking in the House of Lords on 30 October 2025

Debate

Tobacco and Vapes Bill

Contribution

I will give an example. Let us say the levy on the profits brings in £700 million a year. The average cost of a successful smoking cessation programme is £1,500. If, for one year, that levy was spent purely on smoking cessation, that would be the equivalent of 466,666 individuals successfully being helped to cease smoking in the country.
