I will finish on one more point. As was said to us this morning by one of the medical representatives, this is the only product that, if used as intended, kills. I am struggling. I read the submissions and went through them yesterday. When I see some of the representative bodies before the committee who do not just have those interests but a wide range of public health interests, I ask why are they doing the dirty work for the tobacco industry.
