I thank all of our witnesses for their informative presentations this morning. I have learned so much today. I want to return to the issue of flavours and the banning of flavoured e-cigarettes which I agree is vitally important, particularly as HRB research indicates that adolescents who vape are more likely to take up smoking. Flavoured e-cigarettes are definitely targeted at children. What do the witnesses think about the fact that such a ban is not in the Bill? What is the thinking behind that because such a ban seems like common sense to me? Why is it not in the Bill? Why is banning flavours not in this legislation?
