Health Bill [HL]

My case is that trade will be deflected from small shops to supermarkets, but also on to the black market. We have not talked much about that, but I am really concerned about it. On the noble Baroness’s point about spontaneous purchases, she is right that existing smokers often make impulsive purchases in shops when they see a packet of cigarettes. However, it is a far cry from saying that to saying that someone will impulsively take up smoking because they see a packet of cigarettes in a shop.
