Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
General Scheme of the Public Health (Tobacco and Nicotine Inhaling Products) Bill: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. John Dunne:
New Zealand would probably be a good example. It is looking at it in a very pragmatic way as well. They understand that vaping is another successful way to give up smoking, but they also understand that you have to restrict youth access.
The most important step the State could take would be to bring in the restrictions on those under 18 years of age as quickly as possible.
