Select Committee on Health
Public Health (Tobacco Products and Nicotine Inhaling Products) Bill 2023: Committee Stage
Róisín Shortall (Dublin North West, Social Democrats) | Oireachtas source
I move amendment No. 9:
49.In page 39, between lines 2 and 3, to insert the following: “Report into the cost of smoking cessation supports
49.The Minister shall, within six months of the passing of this Act, lay a report before both Houses of the Oireachtas examining the cost of smoking cessation supports to individuals quitting cigarettes and the impact of making smoking cessation supports more widely available to those wishing to quit cigarettes.”.
Before we take a decision on this, I ask the Minister to clarify what he was saying at the beginning of this session about that report on cessation supports.
