Labour has been accused of planting fabricated questions to justify their crackdown on smoking and vaping. The debate around the proposed legislation has sparked criticism.
Labour has been accused of planting fabricated questions about 9-year-olds taking up vaping to justify their smoking and vapes crackdown. A dossier containing suggested interventions was revealed during a debate on the government's smoking and vapes ban. One proposed question suggests that children as young as 9 are starting to vape, with a call for a crackdown on brightly colored, fruit-flavored, and cheaply available products.
Although no Labour MP made the specific statement, the party's pressure to do so has drawn criticism. The legislation will prevent anyone born after January 2009 from legally buying tobacco and will ban vape sales in vending machines, prohibit free samples, and outlaw vape advertising
