Tobacco and Vapes Bill

Members' contribution from John Hayes (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 November 2024. It occurred during Debate on bills on Tobacco and Vapes Bill.

I very rarely disagree with my hon. Friend. She is of course right about vaping, the effect that it has on children and the difficulty that schools have in managing it, as headteachers will no doubt have told Members across the House, but can she really go into the Division Lobby to support the Bill with this nonsense about age? The idea that someone aged 30 could smoke and someone aged 29 could not, and the idea that that could be policed or managed in any practical way, is just nonsensical. It was daft when the last Government introduced it, and it is daft now this Government have done so.
