I do not expect the Minister to take a different view but I do not believe there will be a significant upturn in pipe tobacco smoking as a consequence of the measures in the Bill. Ultimately, I hope we can see a significant reduction in all tobacco usage across the board, not only by the measures contained in this piece of legislation but the combined impact of all the other measures that have and must still be introduced.
