Proceeding contribution from Frank Dobson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill [Lords].


Health Bill [Lords]

I think that I was the first ever person in the House to point out that the tobacco industry needs to recruit 120,000 new smokers a year to make up for the ones it kills in that year. We have to remember that, because the tobacco companies will be standing still if they only get an extra 120,000 new smokers.
