OF THOSE who voted in today's Evening Mail debate, just over half believed changes in tobacco and e-cigarette laws would be a good idea.
This follows the news that later this month, new European Union rules will come into force regarding e-cigarettes and tobacco packaging.
As of 4pm today, 57% of voters believed that these changes would be a good idea, whilst 43% said they would not.
The Changes
EU regulations in the form of the European Tobacco Products Directive will limit the strength of e-cigarette fluid and restrict bottle sizes to a measly 10ml. Tank capacity - i.e. the amount of fluid an e-cigarette can hold - will be limited to 2ml.
E-cigarette advertising will be banned across most media, including print. Cigarette packs will have to contain exactly twenty cigarettes. There is also ban on menthol cigarettes, although that has been held off until 2020.
Tobacco manufacturers must start using so-called "plain" packaging from 20 May.
