Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Robinson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 April 2012. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Cigarette Packaging.
Cigarette Packaging
I agree entirely with the hon. Gentleman, and I am very pleased to say so. He mentions some of the advertising gimmicks and marketing subterfuges to which the industry has stooped. The evidence that this is achieving success lies in the fact that two thirds of those currently smoking started when they were younger than 18. That is why we have to deal with this matter and take measures to deal more effectively with the counterfeiting problem.
