 The Health, Tobacco, Nicotine etc. and Care Scotland Bill is currently being considered by the Scottish Parliament's Health and Sport Committee and includes proposed restrictions on e-cigarettes and smoking in hospital grounds. As part of the Festival of Politics Youth Workshops on Saturday 15th August 2015, the Scottish Parliament's Outreach Services team asked young people to film their views on e-cigarettes and the proposed changes within the bill. We don't know how safe they are yet because tests, well full tests haven't been done yet so giving them away will stop, it could be good for people that do smoke at the moment but it can also encourage people that don't smoke already and we don't know if they're 100% they're okay for you, it's just taking certain bits out of it like the tar about them, the addictiveness so you know. Well we're going to begin with underage smoking and if it's easy to buy e-cigarettes then people who are underage, maybe under 18, are going to be buying cigarettes and that's not a good thing because they're meant to be used as a solution not an addiction. And our idea we both came up with, well mostly Erin, but we thought e-cigarettes should be prescribed to people that actually needed them and then that would stop underage smokers using them and being able to use them wherever they like and getting addicted to something that's not even useful. It will also help the people who haven't smoked before and they won't be able to have access to them. We're also going to talk about the tastes and the tastes they have caramel and bubble gum and this isn't good because you can get addicted to the tastes as well, not just the... The harmful chemicals that can be inside them. So we think that they should just have no taste basically and that would prevent people from being addicted to them because of the taste. I also don't work on the show but I also don't get addicted to it. My views are that they shouldn't really be available just to the general public free but they could maybe be on prescription for current smokers but we're going to get them off cigarettes but still control our habits. They shouldn't be advertised to non-smokers or the general public or kids as I might normalise the cigarettes for them and they think it's cool and like something they can do. On the topic of these cigarettes, I don't think they should be sold to anyone under 18 and I don't think they should advertise sports teams or any programming TV and I don't think they should be sold cheap. I think they should be sold dearly. When it comes, it gives people the old children a chance to get them and then people will accept them as they can just kill them and if they're getting them cheap then it could mean people are going to be in bad environments or I don't know if they're going to be able to take them to have them and be able to reach them. We're just talking about these cigarettes and we're trying to figure out if they should be around at all. That's the main issue that we're examining. My original argument was that I think it's better for you than your normal cigarettes. I do agree that perhaps e-cigarettes are a better option than normal cigarettes because they are, well as far as we know, less damaging to people's health. However, they are still a product that's making you addicted to them and creating a lifelong customer to the companies that are selling them. So my argument is that I would not forbid them. However, would I make them readily available at Wending Machine? I do. If they are available, they should not be available. There's an age limit for cigarettes and I think there should be an age limit for e-cigarettes as well because, again, they're all kids who get addicted to them. No, because we spend so much time stopping cigarettes from being advertised and packaging being changed and it's like erasing it on going back to the game. What do you think of the builders shifting the sale of e-cigarettes to those 18 more? I think they're probably the best because there are some retailers that allow the sale of e-cigarettes to anyone under that age. Well, there are still a small number of people who do question the your age as in the Challenge 25 act so I think they'd be better raising that and imposing that kind of Challenge 25. What do you think of the bill asking for ID for people who look under 25? I'd probably be the best way to ensure the safe sale of e-cigarettes to those who look younger than that age. What do you think of them banning the Wending Machine to e-cigarettes? I'd probably be best because then anyone could ban them for something like five pound coins. Do you think it's good that retailers will be banned from selling e-cigarettes if they fail to follow the bill's requirements? If they call its sale amount to those aged 18 or under then through a kind of, I don't know, under cover search on their methods of sale then they'd be best if they restricted their licence from selling them. Do you agree with e-cigarettes sponsoring things? Depends what it is. They couldn't really be sponsoring the Olympics. If someone smoked in the Olympics then they wouldn't be able to hear their athletic performance but through something such as event search and nothing relating to sport then it'd probably be quite useful for advertising. What do you think of the no smoking in the NHS hospital grounds with no smoking signs for these e-cigarettes? There isn't really much of a point because the smoke produced from the e-cigarettes is a theatrical smoke. In a way it's just a water vapour and it's just a by-product of inhaling the chemicals in the cigarettes so it wouldn't really be classes second-hand smoke, it would just be aesthetic smoke.
