That is all well, good and dandy, and I understand it, but this is a very simple ask. I refer to the wording in this regard, namely, "That it shall be an offence for a person to advertise a nicotine inhaling product in a cinema". It does not get any simpler than that. The Minister for Health does not need a lecture from me or anybody else about the importance of the context of advertising and nicotine. He is either in favour of the principle or he is not.

The Minister said he is not going to give a commitment on this. That is his prerogative and I respect it but this is a very simple matter. I can understand the Minister deferring it, and that he does not want to delay bits and pieces of the legislation, but all I am trying to ascertain from him is whether he considers this proposed change to be obvious and if he can indicate whether he fully supports it. Implementing this provision in primary legislation is another day's work, but it is a very simple ask.
