If we talk about a ban on something, people will look for an alternative. In that context, the online alternative seems to be wide open. I asked the previous group about the ban on smoking in public buildings, restaurants and pubs. We hear of passive smoking. Are there harmful effects for people in the company of vapers? Is there an impact on children when the adult or parent is vaping beside the child? Should there be similar legislation on that? The previous groups suggested that was not the way forward. Do the witnesses have a view on that?
