We will also not oppose this. I am all in favour of education and supports for people trying to give up. They are essential. The Irish Heart Foundation says that this is the single most important healthcare initiative. I wonder how many people have watched somebody die of lung cancer. It is the most grotesque type of death. We need to get people to realise just what damage they are doing to themselves. This measure is about health. It is not about taxation, as far as I am concerned.
