TOBACCO ADVERTISING

The Hon. C.V. SCHAEFER (15:16): I have a supplementary question. Is the government considering extending its ban on tobacco smoking to beer gardens and outside entertainment areas?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Environment and Conservation, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister Assisting the Minister for Health) (15:16): I have spoken about this previously in this place, and have requested my department to look at the most recent data available to give me advice regarding the evidence base of the impact of passive smoking outdoors. I am yet to receive that report, but when I do I will use that information to consider any further moves in terms of smoking.
