I thank the witnesses for being here. I will work on the basis they watched the previous sessions. I want to pick up on the points made by Deputy Cullinane. The witnesses have spoken a lot about whether vaping is a quit aid. We established in the previous session that the HSE does not recognise it as a quit aid. Mr. Dunne mentioned that the UK has been more forthright in its support. The NHS does not support it as a quit aid. Is that correct?
