Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Public Health (Standardised Packaging of Tobacco) Bill 2013: Discussion (Resumed)

12:40 pm

Mr. John Freda:

We may develop the product and they may reject it. It actually is not a big seller in Ireland, at less than 1% share of this market. I understand the point but ultimately it is not a big seller in this market. There are female adult smokers who while understanding the risk choose to smoke a slim cigarette. They understand the risks and they are entitled to make that choice.
