"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I am concerned about the health of my daughter, Elisabetta, who has been elected a regional councillor in Lombardy in Italy where I was a councillor for five years. Unlike in the European Parliament, all the councillors smoked like chimneys during committee meetings. I was very happy when I arrived at the European Parliament and found that here, hardly anybody, or rather nobody at all smokes in committee meetings. This is just to emphasise the fact that passive smoking is harmful for everyone, even Members of the European Parliament. I totally agree with Mr Martinez who spoke earlier. There is no point in us writing ‘Smoking kills’ on cigarette packets if all the young people then sit down in front of the television at 3 o’clock on a Sunday afternoon and watch Hakkinen or Schumacher, who drive like maniacs on the race track, are idolised, especially by young people, and whose clothes, helmets and cars are covered in advertising for different brands of cigarettes. I support anyone who protects health. I am in favour of this report but I do not agree with its hypocrisy. We must be more courageous!"@en1
