In an inquiry into smoking in cars, MPs on the Health Select Committee questioned the company's integrity, after an Imperial Brands representative said the company is only looking to transition current smokers to vape products, claiming they are only concerned with "people who have tried absolutely everything and cannot quit." One MP pointed out that the company's website states tobacco maximisation as a core part of its strategy, seemingly contradicting the Imperial Brands’ representative’s claim. <ref> [https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2019/08/i-m-confused-mps-question-tobacco-firm-imperial-brands-anti-smoking-goals.html 'I'm confused': MPs question tobacco firm Imperial Brands' anti-smoking motivation], ''Newshub'', 28 August 2019, </del>12 September 2019 </ref></div></td><td colspan="2"> </td></tr>
