Let’s make ourselves heard 📩

The To***co & Vapes Bill puts our livelihoods at risk, pushing customers toward illegal products and taking away sales from independent retailers, giving them straight to criminals.

Worse still, the abuse of shop workers is rising. Asking adults for I.D. under this new law will only make it worse.

It’s time to take a stand. Send your letter to Jonathan Reynolds MP today, it only takes a minute.
