The sale of e-cigs to under 18s in England is going to be banned.
The Government is also going to follow Scotland's example and make the purchase of cigarettes for children a criminal offence.
Last night, just as I was sitting down with my family to watch The Great Gatsby, I got a call from a researcher on Five Live's Stephen Nolan Show.
I was told they were discussing the issues with Professor John Ashton, president of the Faculty for Public Health, and Robert West, Professor of Health Psychology and Director of Tobacco Studies at the Cancer Research UK Health Behaviour Research Centre, University College London.
What were Forest's views, she asked?
I explained we supported a ban on proxy purchasing and as for e-cigs we are against excessive regulation but in this instance we wouldn't oppose legislation because we couldn't defend their use by under 18s.
There was a pause.
"Can you hang on a moment? I've just got to speak to a colleague."
When she came back it was to say 'Thanks but no thanks'. Apparently my views were too similar to those of Ashton and West.
Well, I listened to the programme from 11.00pm, when the subject was due to be broadcast, but there was nothing on e-cigarettes (or tobacco) until 11.35 when there was a short discussion with some e-cig guy (whose name I didn't catch) and Edwina Currie, who was there to review the papers but took the opportunity to warn about the dangers of nicotine.
I don't know if they were on earlier but there was no sign of John Ashton or Robert West. As a result the discussion was extremely underpowered. Instead of a proper discussion or debate it felt like filler.
I told the researcher she would struggle to find a spokesman for any group or body who would go on air and defend the sale of e-cigarettes to children and so it proved.
Not even the e-cig guy was prepared to do that.
Nevertheless, I've seen tweets this morning (yes, you, Dick Puddlecote!) that suggest strong opposition to the proposed legislation.
So my question this morning is: 'Should under 18s be banned from buying e-cigarettes?'
I'd be interested to hear your response.
