    "content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, I beg your indulgence very shortly. The overriding principle here at Clause 15(1) is selling tobacco products to a person under the age of 18 years. The tobacco industry has deliberately targeted our children in schools. Over 13.5 per cent of our children are addicted to cigarette smoking in schools. This Parliament must make sure that we protect our children. It is all right for me to die because I am nearer the age of death. But our children have to be protected because there is the issue of addiction. The manufacturers of those products add lead and other products which make our children addicted to those products at that very early age. Therefore, the punishment must be commensurate with that."
