One of the areas I want to be really clear on here is that we feel that all tobacco products are harmful; I said it here in my summing up speech but I've also said it on numerous occasions in terms of the concerns around public health. We know the high rates of cancer is one of the leading causes of health issues for Australians. We also know that, of the different types of cancer one can have, lung cancer is the leading cancer for Australians. I would say that we would want to see every Australian aware of the impact of tobacco products on their health and the public health of others.
