“I am not a smoker, but know why people take it up and how many want to quit but cannot. I have been working with MPs across the political spectrum to highlight the benefits that vapes offer smokers. I support the government’s commitment to vaping as a way of achieving ambitions for a smoke-free future by 2030. We must defend the nation’s public health from those around the world who would try and force the UK to chart a different and more harmful course. The World Health Organisation is rabidly anti-vaping, although it could help one billion smokers around the world to stop. We should be sceptical about their plans. Vaping and maybe heat-not-burn products can do the job of curbing clearly dangerous cigarettes, and that would be an advance. Of course, in an ideal world people would stamp out smoking altogether. But we cannot allow the perfect to be the enemy of the good.”
