"Madam President, the matter I was wanting to raise today is that, on 18 September, 36 Members of this House, including myself, were honoured by the European Lung Foundation for our anti-tobacco work. This is actually the European Year of the Lung, and the petition can still be signed by colleagues who are interested in our work against the tobacco industry and on tobacco control. At the moment, only 10 out of the 27 Member States have a comprehensive ban on smoking in public places, to make these places smoke-free. I am proud that Scotland was one of the first countries to introduce a smoking ban in public places. The recent evidence suggests that there has been an 18% drop in the number of children coming into hospitals with asthma because of this ban on smoking in public places. This is something we have to see replicated across the European Union. I would ask the House to congratulate the 36 colleagues who were presented with this award by the European Lung Foundation on 18 September."@en1
