If I can just say one thing to the last witness. In his submission, he said he represents smokers in Ireland. He also said he was fed up with people being treated like children. However, we are worried about children smoking and the whole tobacco industry. He described plain packaging as dull and grotesque. I agree with him but that is the way it should be. Maybe he does not remember that but it was in his submission. He said that historically is was a form of State-sponsored bullying. Does he not think that the State should protect its citizens?
