Does the hon. member support restricting promotions and advertising on vaping products in some similar fashion to tobacco? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5242186\" data-originallang=\"en\">With respect to tobacco, I know his party is generally against taxes, but would he favour imposing a levy on tobacco companies to help recover the costs of the government having to enforce a tobacco reduction strategy? Would that be a reasonable levy in his view?</p>",

Par contre, nous ne connaissons pas les r\u00e9percussions \u00e0 long terme du vapotage sur la sant\u00e9. Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 est-il favorable \u00e0 l'id\u00e9e de restreindre la promotion et la publicit\u00e9 concernant les produits de vapotage, comme c'est le cas \u00e0 l'heure actuelle pour les produits du tabac?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5242186\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pour ce qui est du tabac, je sais que, en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, son parti est contre les taxes, mais le d\u00e9put\u00e9 verrait-il d'un bon oeil l'imposition d'un pr\u00e9l\u00e8vement aux fabricants de produits du tabac pour aider le gouvernement \u00e0 recouvrer les co\u00fbts qu'il doit assumer pour mettre en application une strat\u00e9gie de lutte contre le tabagisme? Selon lui, s'agirait-il d'une forme de pr\u00e9l\u00e8vement raisonnable?</p>"
