“’We do not ban 18 certificate films because some teenagers watch them. We do not even ban cigarettes because some teenagers smoke them.’
“The report argues that a ban could risk some returning to cigarettes. It also highlights that a ban could result in the proliferation of unregulated and unsafe vaping products on the black market.”
