Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

Professor Des Cox:

Finland introduced this measure. A recent article in a large peer-reviewed journal concluded that adult ex-smokers who were using e-cigarettes as a quit tool did not decrease their use of it. I am just quoting evidence here. That is what we must base our decisions and recommendations on. Throughout this process, we must look at evidence rather than anecdotal or hearsay evidence.
