I thank our guests for their presentation. With regard to the figures for teenagers and e-cigarettes, my understanding is that a 2015 study showed that 23% of teenagers used e-cigarettes whereas a study in 2019 showed it was 37%. Teenagers who use e-cigarettes are five times more likely to move on to smoking cigarettes.

How do the witnesses view the challenge in dealing with that? How can the legislation help to deal with that trend? There is a huge increase in the number of teenagers who are moving to electronic cigarettes.
