Do we need a ‘new settlement’ with Europe – or just a better sausage factory?

My particular concern is the provision to regulate e-cigarettes. It matters that this legislation is done well, because smoking remains one of the most serious public health challenges and millions of lives are at stake.


Misunderstand the technology or users, misinterpret the evidence or ignore unintended consequences and people do actually die as a result. It is therefore astonishing to me that critical aspects of this regulation could be drawn up with none of the other basics of good policy making mentioned above.
