Our guests have set out all of the ways that e-cigarettes are being promoted, particularly with regard to attracting young people. Is there any way of dealing with that? I presume it is difficult to introduce a ban within a single country. I wonder is there any kind of move to outlaw online advertising, say at an EU level, or have our guests considered approaching some of the big companies directly on the basis of health and safety for young people? I wonder is there any potential for limiting that at all.
