Does the Minister recognise that some of the provisions, particularly those on packaging and display, will have a disproportionate—and, for some, existential—impact on specialist sectors such as handmade cigars? If so, how is that being mitigated? How will the Government ensure that they understand the concerns of those retailers that the newspaper I quoted reported on—Asian traders who run small businesses and feel that they have not been consulted? They also have other concerns about enforcement and the risk of violence.
