Written Answers. - Tobacco Advertising Restrictions.
A new Tobacco Bill is being drafted in my Department which will, among other things, provide for further restrictions on tobacco advertising particularly with regard to in-store advertising and promotion of tobacco products. The marketing practices of the tobacco industry target young people. I am committed to ensuring that children and young people, in particular, are protected from commercial exploitation by the tobacco industry.
