Health Bill [HL]

My Lords, I will speak briefly to oppose the amendment. I do not know what is worrying the noble Lord, Lord Patel, about what is already on the packages. Is it the phrase: ""Smoking seriously harms you and others around you"?" Is it, "Smoking kills"? Is it, "UK duty paid", which is in large letters, to prevent smuggling? Is it: ""Smoking causes ageing of the skin"," with a lurid picture provided by the Government? Is it: ""Smoking can cause a slow and painful death"," with a lurid picture of someone’s neck falling out, which is also provided by the Government ? Is it: ""Protect children—don’t make them breathe your smoke"," with another lurid picture? What is the noble Lord objecting to? Is it the tar content, which is on the packet? Is it the nicotine content, which is on the packet? Is it the carbon monoxide content, which is on the packet? Is it just that the brands display their brand name, and do so, as they are entitled to do? What is bothering the noble Lord?
