"Madam President, smoking is harmful to health. Tobacco advertising leads to an increase in smoking. Society therefore increasingly restricts this kind of advertising. Although health falls within the jurisdiction of Member States, regulation of the sale of tobacco products is pan-European. Poverty is also harmful to health. Habitual gambling leads to poverty, but in this case, the responsibility rests on the shoulders of Member States. Smoking and gambling both harm people and are addictive. While the Member States can act effectively in regulating the sale of cigarettes, it is regulated by the EU. In the regulation concerning online gambling, however, we are proposing respect for the different cultural traditions of individual Member States. I voted in favour of the report, but I have two questions. What do we really mean by subsidiarity? Do we apply it only when it suits us?"@en1
