Your questions, answered 👇

Very hard to see what is supposed to be unconservative about the Tobacco and Vaping Bill. It's a gradual long term reform that doesn't affect anyone now smoking, protects young people from a dangerous addictive drug, supports the NHS and saves the taxpayer and society a fortune.
