Ms Camille Loftus:

I do not think it should, no. It would be a horrendous infringement on civil liberty. In the context of the anti-smoking debate a number of years ago, there was proposal to stop smoking in nursing homes. When someone gets to 80 they are old enough to make these decisions, and informed enough for themselves, and people should stop telling them what to do. What that monitoring would do would be to make people say they do not want it in their house. This is a risk and a problem.
