Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael)

I see the Taoiseach has not turned to cigarettes over the past number of weeks with all the pressure he is under. I do not think he will turn to them now. I very much welcome the increase in excise duties on cigarettes.

This country has come a long way in the past number of years with the smoking ban. The ban has helped many people to give up cigarettes.
