§ Ms PrimaroloTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what estimates she has made of decreases in consumption of tobacco as a result of the voluntary code on tobacco advertisements.
§ Mr. SackvilleIn October 1992 the Department of Health published a discussion document, the "Effect of Tobacco Advertising on Tobacco Consumption", a copy of which is available in the Library, reviewing the evidence on the effects of tobacco advertising on tobacco consumption. The review did not identify any studies which seek to quantify the reduction in smoking that can be attributed to the voluntary agreement on tobacco advertising and promotion.
