Spice-spiked Vapes

Debate between Beccy Cooper and Nusrat Ghani

Tuesday 15th October 2024 Commons Chamber

[Dr Beccy Cooper (Worthing West) (Lab)]

On what you said about what more we can do in relation to young children, you are right—

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Ms Nusrat Ghani)]

Order. “You” refers to the Chair, but the hon. Lady is referring to the hon. Member. Interventions should also be short.

[Dr Cooper]

I apologise, Madam Deputy Speaker. I just wanted to make the point that we need to be mindful that young people are in a time of cognitive development—a formative time, when it comes to what they understand. Banning the advertising of vapes to young children, and making sure that the packaging is not attractive to them, is incredibly important.
