David Cullinane: -----and ensuring we protect the health of all citizens but most especially children. I return to the issue of banning products for those aged under 18. In the current or past membership of VBI, are there or were there any representative bodies of organisations that sell tobacco products?

David Cullinane: Many of them marketed their products towards young children, especially in developing countries. Have the representatives done any research on that?

David Cullinane: I know that but they were members of Mr. Dunne's body at one point or another.

David Cullinane: Mr. Dunne is telling us is he supports the ban for people aged under 18. I put it to him some of his members sell tobacco products and the international evidence shows they market those products, especially in developing countries, to young children.

David Cullinane: Does he support all advertising of vaping products that presents it as a quick aid for smokers? That is as opposed to what I have seen in some areas where there are sleek, outdoor, brightly-coloured premises. We will get to the flavouring as well, which some people see as having an added attraction for children and potentially encourage them to take up vaping. Do the VBI representatives...

David Cullinane: In that case, Mr. Dunne should encourage his members to do that because it is not happening. When he says it is a good thing, does he encourage them to do that, as a practice?

David Cullinane: With respect, there is nothing stopping any of the organisations that sells these products from marketing them in a different way.

David Cullinane: I have seen examples of what I would call brightly coloured sleek outdoor operations that market and project these products in a different way. I certainly would not come away from the set-up of the shop seeing it as a shop selling products that are quit aid products.

David Cullinane: That is the point I just made a couple of minutes ago. I was asking what is stopping them making a change in how the shops are branded and marketed. Mr. Dunne cited legislation. There is nothing stopping the suppliers doing it.

David Cullinane: I do not have enough time. I will finish on this. I might get back in a second time. In fairness, it is not the fault of the witnesses. They had very lengthy time opening statements, which is fine. We had two opening statements. The Chair will agree it is very difficult, if not impossible, to do any justice to the issue in five minutes when we must include answers. I know we have two...

David Cullinane: I have a number of follow-up questions for Mr. O’Boyle. I assume he will agree with his colleague that vaping is not 100% safe.
