§ Mr. FlynnTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what the estimated gross cost of anti-smoking campaigns in Northern Ireland aimed at children and young people has been since 1988; and what assessment she has made of the impact of the campaigns on teenage(a) boys and (b) girls. [44013]
§ Mr. WorthingtonThe estimated expenditure on such campaigns by the Health Promotion Agency for Northern Ireland since its inception in October 1990 is £315,300.
Campaigns to reduce smoking among young people appear to have had a greater impact upon boys. Post-campaign quantitative and qualitative research among the target group has identified a number of issues which the Department of Health and Social Services will address in the context of the Government's forthcoming White Paper on tobacco control.
