When we voted to leave the European Union, it was to escape the rule of Brussels.
Freedom to decide our own laws for ourselves was as a key reason why so many people voted the way that they did in the 2016 referendum.
Exiting the EU has given us a new mandate to take a fresh look at all the rules and regulations imposed upon us by multinational bodies, consider why they were imposed in the first place and assess whether they should remain or be revoked or improved upon.
One such policy area that stands out is smoking. Harm reduction products such as vaping, e-cigarettes, heat-not-burn tobacco and nicotine pouches are back on the agenda.
These innovative products save thousands of lives every year and the UK is a world leader in harm reduction thanks to these market-led innovations.
