Orders of the Day — Tobacco Advertising and Promotion Bill [Lords] (29 Apr 2002)

Mr Adrian Bailey: ...children who are under 16 to buy tobacco products. Many statistics have been cited. Some 330 people a day are killed by cigarettes. That in itself does not convey the wider damage done by cigarette smoking—the reduced quality of life that people suffer as a result. One has only to hear the hacking coughs on the trains in the morning. Those people are trapped in a nicotine hell, and...

Orders of the Day — Tobacco Advertising and Promotion Bill [Lords] (29 Apr 2002)

Mr Adrian Bailey: ...in Norway, Finland, France and New Zealand, clearly demonstrates that the Bill will be very effective as part and parcel of a package of measures.

If one wants to take that as the basis of the test, it...

Mr Adrian Bailey: I support the Bill, and I make no apologies for saying that my attitude to smoking and tobacco advertising has been determined from a young age by my experience of the suffering caused by tobacco in my family.

Mr Adrian Bailey: ...of tobacco advertising with Formula 1 racing. It is obvious that young people who are interested in the fast cars of the motor racing circuit will associate that glamorous life with cigarette smoking, given that the logos are so prominently displayed on the cars.
