Mr. Declan Connolly:

Yes, I accept that young people and adults would be less likely to take up vaping or switch from smoking to vaping if fruity or sweet-flavoured liquids were not available. As I mentioned to Deputy Colm Burke, one needs to be conscious of the unintended consequences. If they said they would not take up e-cigarettes, it does not necessarily mean they would move on to something more virtuous. They may go straight on to smoking.
