I will not belabour the point that hon. Senators have raised before the Floor on the dangers that are posed to our young people who engage in E-cigarettes smoking. Most of us are parents who have nieces, neighbours and children. We know that it is almost becoming the in-thing for any young adult and even those who have not attained the age of 18 to think that it is very cool to engage in E-cigarettes smoking. These cigarettes are available in many of the outlets. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Motion is very timely because as a country, we need to respond to a crisis we are facing. When I project, 100 or maybe 50 years when some of us will maybe no longer be in this world, I do not know the kind of generation we are going to leave behind. It is a crisis that should worry all of us. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
