Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

General Scheme of the Public Health (Tobacco and Nicotine Inhaling Products) Bill 2019: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Alex Pescar:

In this industry, there are more and more players and manufacturers that are starting to grow, even globally. A business in the industry has two marketing choices. One of the choices is to do one’s own brand. The second is to go with the general marketing that is provided by the manufacturers. The latter decide on the names. At present, the market has both of these and there is a very big demand for some kinds of liquids which are probably not named well but there is a big demand for them. I know that we have two categories of people who are using vaping products. Those under 18 years of age are the ones we need to care about most. We have been talking here already for a couple of hours about how to prove that we do not sell products to people who are under 18 years of age on the website.
