That brings me to my noble friend Lady Northover’s Amendment 28, to which I have added my name. One of the most egregious practices of the highly profitable tobacco companies has been to hand out free samples of tobacco products, most recently vapes. The industry and its supporters will undoubtedly claim that this very clear ban in Amendment 28 would prevent people trying different flavours of vape in order to find one that they like and that may help them quit smoking. This is a loophole as big as the Mersey tunnels unless the Government close it. People try different chocolate bars until they find their favourite, but that does not mean you need to give them away free. Many vapers try different flavours until they find their favourite, and they are perfectly happy to buy them.
