Paschal Mooney (Fianna Fail)

Such a review might allow us to devise a positive approach to arresting the alarming increase in the rate of smoking among 14 to 17 year olds. One is reminded of the Jesuit observation that having the care of a child until seven years of age will make that child one's own for life. Unfortunately, if the tobacco companies succeed in taking hold of a child between the ages of 14 and 17 years, they are likely to hold that child for life.
