I reiterate my full support for the Bill. One of the figures that stood with me as we went through the debate was the reference to the tobacco industry in Ireland needing 50 new smokers a day, almost 80% of whom are going to be under 18 years. It is great to see the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs bringing this Bill into law.
