General Scheme of the Public Health (Tobacco and Nicotine Inhaling Products) Bill 2019 (Resumed): Discussion
Frances Black (Independent) | Oireachtas source
It is good to hear the Department has not made up its mind on this. It will be our job to persuade it. I worked very closely on the Public Health (Alcohol) Bill 2015. This is not unlike it. We have a big battle fighting against the industry. I want to touch a little on the matter of advertising. We can draw on the alcohol experience here and think about how visible it is. I would like to hear a little more from the witnesses on why they think it is important that we ban e-cigarette advertising. I ask them to say a little more about that and the importance of banning advertising in that regard.
