Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:33 pm on 4 October 2022.
I recall, First Minister, that you endeavoured to control vaping when you introduced the Bill in 2015, but there was no support from the Conservative benches for this measure so it had to be withdrawn. So, I'm glad to see that the tobacco control strategy recognises that vaping is a gateway into smoking, and we now have a veritable epidemic amongst young people of vaping. I just wondered what plans, if any, the Welsh Government has to really clamp down on this in schools and colleges, because, undoubtedly, the tobacco companies are using it as a way of getting people to take up smoking, which we know is so harmful.
