I also support the recommendation. Healthy Ireland carried out an extensive study on young people smoking in 2017, and last year I raised the issues of smoking and body image in young people, particularly regarding the use of social media and apps. In the Joint Committee on Children and Youth Affairs, on which Deputy Sherlock also sits, we had a discussion about social media, apps and everything that revolves around body image. Smoking can often feed into that also and, therefore, I welcome what is proposed today by the Government.
