Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
General Scheme of the Public Health (Tobacco and Nicotine Inhaling Products) Bill: Discussion (Resumed)
Professor Des Cox:
We support the same restrictions on packaging, marketing and advertising being put in place in regard to flavourings as well. Teenagers should not be able to walk into a petrol station and see e-cigarettes right in front of them at the point of sale, at the counter or even behind the counter. We believe that is putting teenagers at risk of developing a nicotine addiction through nicotine inhaled products. We ask the committee to take that into consideration as regards point-of-sale advertising and marketing.
