Senator van Turnhout asked about trading hours similar to those provided for the sale of alcohol. Should that be considered in the regulation of the sale of cigarettes? For example, I could have walked into the shops owned by Mr. Sweeney or Mr. Jennings at 8 o'clock this morning to buy cigarettes but I could not have bought alcohol. I ask the question in the context of the overall approach.
