My point is somewhat irrelevant to this amendment but it is relevant to advertising. In a lot of period movies or those set in the early part of the last century, westerns or whatever else, there appears to be product placement. I wonder if there is evidence of involvement or investment by the tobacco industry in some of these films or dramas. Is that being looked at or discussed on a European basis as well? I will not name any films or dramas but in those set in the 1950s it is commonplace to see people smoking. We also seem to be seeing a lot of it now on modern television.
