Vol. 411 No. 1
517 Mr. G. Brady asked the Minister for Health if he will implement the same stringent advertising and promotional guidelines in respect of alcohol as has already been done with tobacco.
My Department introduced stringent controls on tobacco advertising and sponsorship, as a result of the serious health risks associated with tobacco use. Unlike tobacco, the health risks in the case of alcohol are mainly associated with its abuse rather than its use.
