I wish to ask about cigar smoking. I know we exempted it in the Public Health (Tobacco) Act 2002. My understanding is that the UK will exempt cigars as well. The problem might arise that one would have one law in Northern Ireland and a different one in the South. Cigar smoking is favoured more by middle aged men.
