Infrastructure Minister Tim Crookall proposed the motion be referred to a scrutiny body instead, citing a 'lack of evidence'
A Rushen MHK remains optimistic that her proposals to restrict the sale of nicotine products to those born on or after 1 January 2008 will still see progress throughout the summer and early autumn.
Michelle Haywood's hopes to draw up new legislation was given a minor knock after her motion was instead referred to a parliamentary committee to collect evidence.
Infrastructure Minister Tim Crookall told the House of Keys he thinks there's a 'lack of evidence' and no public appetite for such a move.
But Dr Haywood thinks he's 'categorically wrong':
