Speaking in the House of Lords on 30 October 2025

Debate

Tobacco and Vapes Bill

Contribution

Cancer Research UK—would you believe it?—also opposes this approach, saying that the price of vaping products and liquids is already set to increase with the UK Government’s vaping products duty. It believes that the increase could reduce rates of vaping, saying that there is no significant evidence that it would encourage cessation. It suggests incentivising vaping of all sorts and that low pricing can be a vital part of that. Therefore, I do not support that amendment, although I understand where it is coming from.
