According to media reports, on November 22, the Irish Parliamentary Health Committee learned that the indoor smoking ban should be extended to e-cigarettes, and the age limit for buying cigarettes should be raised to 21 years old.

It will continue to review the proposed Public Health (Tobacco and Nicotine Inhalation Products) Bill 2019 and listen to the opinions of the Irish Cancer Society (ICS) and the Irish Heart Foundation (IHF).

Chris Macey, head of IHF advocacy, said that research shows that among 15-16 year-olds, smoking has become the first epidemic in 25 years.

Four measures must be taken to "make the trend of young people smoking in the right direction, and to deal with the dangers of young people smoking e-cigarettes vigorously."

1. "Increase the age for legally selling cigarettes and e-cigarettes from 18 to 21 years old, 2. Prohibit all tobacco that smells like e-cigarettes, 3. Prohibit all e-cigarette advertisements, 4. Implement unified packaging on e-cigarette products. "

Mr. Macey showed off an electronic cigarette liquid carton. He said that these carton boxes are brightly packed with cartoon images that attract young consumers and attract young people.

His colleague Mark Murphy said that indoor smoking bans should also include e-cigarettes.

Macey told FineGaelTDColmBurke that the study showed that 80% of smokers want to quit smoking and need to support them through advertising and smoking management.

ICS CEO AverilPower said that the tobacco industry is spending billions of dollars to make e-cigarettes more attractive to young consumers, who they say are using "aggressive advertising and child-friendly tastes."

The health department previously claimed that smokers need to use e-cigarettes to help quit smoking.

Ms. Baul said: "We also must not forget that all major e-cigarette companies are classified as'tobacco'.

When lobbying the health committee, some companies called themselves e-cigarette companies, but they were actually tobacco companies.

Shortall told Róis Shortall, the leader of the Social Democratic Party, that the Department of Health has been resisting ICS and IHF requests to restrict e-cigarettes.
