Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by David Clelland (Labour). It was answered on Tuesday, 23 June 2009 on behalf of the Department of Health.
Smoking (Young People)
- Question
- But if the display of tobacco products encourages young people to take up smoking, what influence do the crowds of people whom we see on the streets outside pubs and clubs have on young people? Would it not be better for these smokers to be hidden away—inside the building in a controlled environment, rather than on the streets, where children can see them?
- Answer
-
My hon. Friend is, as always, very inventive in making his point. As I said, we are looking ahead to a new tobacco control strategy. We have just finished the consultation and 100,000 responses were received. I look forward to seeing what further measures we may take.
