There may well be unintended consequences but the intended consequence is that we do not have more young people becoming dependent on vaping products or cigarettes. That is how I approach it as a public representative.
I move to some other evidence. The Health Research Board in October 2020 published a report. It found that adolescents who had used an e-cigarette were between three and five times more likely to start smoking than those who never used e-cigarettes. Did Mr. Connolly see that?
