Tobacco Advertising and Promotion Act 2002
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

4 Advertising: exclusions
(1) No offence is committed under section 2, 3 or 3A in relation to a tobacco advertisement— (a) if it is, or is contained in, a communication made in the course of a business which is part of the tobacco trade, and for the purposes of that trade, and directed solely at persons who— (i) are engaged in, or employed by, a business which is also part of that trade, and (ii) fall within subsection (2), in their capacity as such persons, (b) if it is, or is contained in, the communication made in reply to a particular request by an individual for information about a tobacco product, or (c) if it is contained in a publication (other than in an in-flight magazine)– (i) which is printed outside the United Kingdom, and (ii) whose principal market is not the United Kingdom (or any part of the United Kingdom) . (d) if it is published by means of an information society service by a person who does not carry on business in the United Kingdom and it is not intended to be accessed principally by persons in the United Kingdom (or any part of the United Kingdom). (1A) Subsection (1)(b) applies to a communication made by means of an information society service only if the request was made— (a) by means of an information society service which does not advertise any tobacco product to persons— (i) who have not made such a request, or (ii) who have not initiated a process by which a tobacco product may be purchased by means of that service; or (b) without using an information society service. (1B) The supply of information to an individual is not a tobacco advertisement if— (a) an information society service provides a means by which tobacco products may be purchased which includes the provision of information about a tobacco product, and (b) the information becomes available only after the individual has initiated the process of making the purchase. (2) A person falls within this subsection if— (a) he is responsible for making decisions on behalf of the business referred to in subsection (1)(a)(i) about the purchase of tobacco products which are to be sold in the course of that business, (b) he occupies a position in the management structure of the business in question which is equivalent in seniority to, or of greater seniority than, that of any such person, or (c) he is the person who, or is a member of the board of directors or other body of persons (however described) which, is responsible for the conduct of the business in question. (3) The appropriate Minister may provide in regulations that no offence is committed under section 2 in relation to a tobacco advertisement which— (a) is in a place or ... where tobacco products are offered for sale, and (b) complies with requirements specified in the regulations. (4) The regulations may, in particular, provide for the meaning of “place” in subsection (3)(a). (5) The Schedule has effect in relation to the liability of information society service providers.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
