6:15Now PlayingAfter Rishi Sunak's proposal to ban young people from ever being able to legally smoke tobacco cleared its first Commons hurdle, Nick Ferrari questions Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Laura Trott, on whether alcohol could follow suit.
Despite a swathe of Conservative MPs objecting to Sunak's proposal, MPs still voted 383 to 67 - giving the Tobacco and Vapes Bill a second reading.
However, Trott insists the Tories have no plans to try and pass a similar bill regarding alcohol.
"We will not be banning alcohol," Trott says.
"Alcohol and nicotine are very, very different in terms of the addictive effects of them, and the wider effects they have on the people around you."
