When asked on social media how he voted on “the ridiculous smoking law”, Simon Jupp replied:

“Hello. I did not vote for it as I’m concerned about the impact on retail workers and the difficulty of implementing the policy. I’m not a smoker, I don’t like smoking at all – but I have concerns about the plan.”

Mr Jupp told the BBC he was “not responsible for the web domains”
