Tithe an Oireachtais Houses of the Oireachtas Tithe an Oireachtais An Comhchoiste um Shláinte agus Leanaí Tuarascáil maidir le héisteachtaí i ndáil le Scéim Ghinearálta an Bhille Sláinte Poiblí (Pacáistiú Caighdeánaithe Tobac) Imleabhar 1 Aibreán 2014 ___________________________ Houses of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health and Children Report on hearings in relation to the General Scheme of the Public Health (Standardised Packaging of Tobacco) Bill Volume 1 April 2014 31/HHCN/014 Foreword by the Chairman of the Joint Committee on Health and Children, Jerry Buttimer TD. The purpose of the Public Health (Standardised Packaging of Tobacco) Bill 2013 is to make it mandatory for tobacco to be sold in Standardised Packaging which will greatly increase the health warnings and reduce the ability of tobacco manufacturers to promote their brand. The Minister for Health referred the Heads of Bill to the Joint Committee on Health and Children for consultation with key stakeholders before the Bill is finalised and presented to the Houses of the Oireachtas. The Joint Committee is delighted to have this opportunity to feed into this critical piece of legislation. It allowed members of the Committee to be fully informed and enable us to provide meaningful input into the legislation, make observations and suggestions before the Bill comes before the Dáil and Seanad. It has also been an opportunity for interested groups and stakeholders to contribute to the drafting of this legislation. Tobacco packaging has been described at the last billboard for the tobacco industry and this legislation will force the industry to show with greater clarity, the devastating effects of smoking on health. Committee members have seen for themselves the packets of various shapes, sizes and colours used by tobacco companies to attract young people to take up smoking. Standardised packaging with much larger health warnings will act as a deterrent. Every year 5,200 Irish people die from diseases caused by smoking. Protecting our children and young people from taking up smoking is a key policy for the Minister for Health, and one which this Committee strongly supports. There is a wealth of international evidence on the effects of tobacco packaging in general and on perceptions and reactions to standardised packaging which support the introduction of this measure. As part of the wider consultation process, the Committee held public hearings with various interest groups and stakeholders to obtain their input. We believe that our intensive scrutiny of this subject over the last number of months, culminating in the publication of this report, will assist the Minister and the Government in their further consideration and formulation of this legislation. I would like to record our appreciation to the many different interest groups who made both oral and written submissions to the Joint Committee in its preparation of this report. I would also like to acknowledge the contribution of Ms. Monica Boyle, from the Oireachtas Library & Research Service for her assistance with this body of work, the Clerk to the Committee and the staff of the Committee Secretariat in the Houses of the Oireachtas for their assistance in its compilation. The Joint Committee presents this report to the Minister for Health as its contribution to the formulation of this critically important legislation. __________________ Jerry Buttimer, T.D., Chairman, Joint Committee on Health and Children. 3rd April 2014 st 31 Dáil Members of Joint Committee on Health and Children DEPUTIES Jerry Buttimer TD CHAIRMAN (Fine Gael) Catherine Byrne TD Ciara Conway TD Regina Doherty TD Clare Daly TD (Fine Gael) VICE CHAIR (Fine Gael) (Independent) (Labour) Robert Dowds TD Peter Fitzpatrick TD Seamus Healy TD Billy Kelleher TD (Labour) (Fine Gael) (Independent - (Fianna Fáil) WUAG) Eamonn Maloney Sandra McLellan TD Sinn Féin (Labour) Mary Mitchell Dan Neville TD Caoimhghín Ó Robert Troy TD O’Connor TD (Fine Gael) Caoláin TD (Fianna Fáil) (Fine Gael) (Sinn Féin) Senators Senator Colm Burke Senator John Crown Senator John Gilroy Senator Imelda Henry (Fine Gael) (Independent) (Labour) (Fine Gael) Senator Marc Senator Jillian Van MacSharry Turnhout (Fianna Fáil) (Independent) Table of Contents of Volume 1 and Volume 2 VOLUME 1 SECTION 1: REPORT OF THE JOINT COMMITTEE SECTION 2: LIST OF THOSE WHO PRESENTED TO THE COMMITTEE SECTION 3: ORAL PRESENTATIONS SECTION 4: TRANSCRIPTS OF MEETINGS SECTION 5: TERMS OF REFERENCE VOLUME 2 APPENDIX 1: LIST OF THOSE WHO SUBMITTED TO THE COMMITTEE APPENDIX 2: SUBMISSIONS Table of Contents of Volume One Section 1 Report of the Joint Committee……………………………………… 1 Section 2 List of those who presented to the Committee……… 91 Section 3 Oral Presentations………………………………………………………… 93 Assistant Commissioner Derek Byrne, An Garda Síochána………… 95 Detective Chief Superintendent Eugene Corcoran, An Garda Síochána Detective Chief Superintendent Padraig Kennedy, An Garda Síochána Gerard Moran, Office of the Revenue Commissioners……………….. 103 Emma Clutterbuck, Office of the Revenue Commissioners Michael Gilligan, Office of the Revenue Commissioners Gavin Maguire, Health Service Executive…………………………………… 107 Laura Garvey, Health Service Executive Kathleen O’Meara, Irish Cancer Society…………………………………….. 109 Chris Macey, Irish Heart Foundation………………………………………….. 112 Sharon Cosgrove, Asthma Society of Ireland………………………….… 105 Niamh Kelly, Asthma Society of Ireland Dr. Ross Morgan, ASH Ireland……………………………………………………. 117 Norma Cronin, ASH Ireland Damien Peelo, COPD Support Ireland………………………………………… 121 Paul Gilligan, Children’s Rights Alliance…………………………………….. 124 Cliona O Neill, Tipperary Regional Youth Service……………………… 130 Danielle Gayson, Tipperary Regional Youth Service Amy Maher, Tipperary Regional Youth Service Caroline O’Sullivan, ISPCC………………………………………………………….. 133 Dr Matthew Sadlier, Irish Medical organisation (IMO)………………. 135 Dr Anthony O’Regan, Irish Thoracic Society………………………………. 137 Owen Metcalfe, Institute of Public Health in Ireland………………….. 142 Dr Helen McAvoy, Institute of Public Health in Ireland Dr. Patrick Doorley, Royal College of Physicians of Ireland………. 145 Prof Luke Clancy, TobaccoFree Research Institute Ireland……….. 148 Dr Kate Babineau, TobaccoFree Research Institute Ireland Dr. Finbarr O’Connell, St James's Hospital…………………………………. 155 Tara Buckley, Retail Grocery Dairy & Allied Trades Association (RGDATA)…………………………………………………………………………………….. 160 Sharon Higgins, Ibec…………………………………………………………………… 162 Joe Sweeney, National Federation of Retail Newsagents Ireland…………………………………………………………………………………………. 166 Vincent Jennings, Convenience Stores and Newsagent Association…………………………………………………………………………………… 169 Paul Candon, Retail Excellence Ireland……………………………………… 172 Mike Ridgway……………………………………………………………………………… 174 Steven Donaldson, PJ Carroll and Company Limited………………… 182 Ronald Ridderbeekx, PJ Carroll and Company Limited Andrew Meagher, John Player & Sons Ltd…………………………………… 186 Dr. Axel Gietz, Imperial Tobacco John Freda, JTI Ireland Limited…………………………………………………… 189 Michiel Reerink, JTI Ireland Limited John Mallon, Forest Éireann…………………………………………………………. 194 Ken Murphy, Law Society of Ireland ……………………………………………. 197 John P.

    FLEXIBLE PACKAGING BUYERS GUIDE 2018 - 2019 FLEXIBLE PACKAGING • Innovative • Creates Shelf Appeal • Widely Extendible Into Diverse • Enables Visibility of Contents Product Categories • Provides Efficient Product to Package • Maintains and Indicates Freshness Ratios • Offers Consumer Conveniences • Uses Less Energy • Provides Reclosure and Dispensing • Creates Fewer Emissions Options • Creates Less Waste in the First • Is Easily Transported and Stored Place® As one of the fastest growing segments of the packaging industry, flexible packaging combines the best qualities of plastic, film, paper and aluminum foil to deliver a broad range of protective properties while employing a minimum of material. Typically taking the shape of a bag, pouch, liner, or overwrap, flexible packaging is defined as any package or any part of a package whose shape can be readily changed. Flexible packages are used for consumer and institutional products and in industrial applications, to protect, market, and distribute a vast array of products. Leading the way in packaging innovation, flexible packaging adds value and marketability to food and non-food products alike. From ensuring food safety and extending shelf life, to providing even heating, barrier protection, ease of use, resealability and superb printability, the industry continues to advance at an unprecedented rate. The life cycle attributes of flexible packaging demonstrate many sustainable advantages. Flexible packaging starts with less waste in the first place, greatly reducing landfill discards. Innovation and technology have enabled flexible packaging manufacturers to use fewer natural resources in the creation of their packaging, and improvements in production processes have reduced water and energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and volatile organic compounds.

  • Plain Packaging of Cigarettes and Smoking Behavior
    Maynard et al. Trials 2014, 15:252 http://www.trialsjournal.com/content/15/1/252 TRIALS STUDY PROTOCOL Open Access Plain packaging of cigarettes and smoking behavior: study protocol for a randomized controlled study Olivia M Maynard1,2,3*, Ute Leonards3, Angela S Attwood1,2,3, Linda Bauld2,4, Lee Hogarth5 and Marcus R Munafò1,2,3 Abstract Background: Previous research on the effects of plain packaging has largely relied on self-report measures. Here we describe the protocol of a randomized controlled trial investigating the effect of the plain packaging of cigarettes on smoking behavior in a real-world setting. Methods/Design: In a parallel group randomization design, 128 daily cigarette smokers (50% male, 50% female) will attend an initial screening session and be assigned plain or branded packs of cigarettes to smoke for a full day. Plain packs will be those currently used in Australia where plain packaging has been introduced, while branded packs will be those currently used in the United Kingdom. Our primary study outcomes will be smoking behavior (self-reported number of cigarettes smoked and volume of smoke inhaled per cigarette as measured using a smoking topography device). Secondary outcomes measured pre- and post-intervention will be smoking urges, motivation to quit smoking, and perceived taste of the cigarettes. Secondary outcomes measured post-intervention only will be experience of smoking from the cigarette pack, overall experience of smoking, attributes of the cigarette pack, perceptions of the on-packet health warnings, behavior changes, views on plain packaging, and the rewarding value of smoking. Sex differences will be explored for all analyses.

  • Advancing Tobacco Plain and Standardized Packaging in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Advice from Experts
    Advancing Tobacco Plain and Standardized Packaging in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Advice from Experts www.globaltobaccocontrol.org Introduction Tobacco packs can be colorful, attractive, and come in exciting shapes and sizes. Plain and standardized packaging removes the potential for companies to use these attractive elements by only allowing the tobacco pack to be presented in one color, shape, and size that is designed to be minimally attractive. This policy stipulates that packs may contain no brand imagery, and also that the brand name be written in a specific font, color, and size. Australia was the first country to introduce plain and standardized packaging for cigarettes in 2011, with the law taking effect in 2012. As of January 2020, France, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Norway, Ireland, and Saudi Arabia have fully implemented plain and standardized packaging laws at the retail level. Thailand, Uruguay, Slovenia, Turkey, Israel, Canada, Singapore, Belgium, and Hungary have all passed or adopted plain and standardized packaging laws and are awaiting full implementation. Many additional countries are either debating or considering similar policies. We were interested in identifying specific studies or bodies of evidence that were viewed as crucial in the successful passage and implementation of tobacco plain packaging policy. Our goal is to inform low- and middle- income countries (LMIC) looking to pursue plain and standardized packaging with recommendations on critical research components, including study designs, study populations, and relevant research questions. Cigarette packs from New Zealand Advancing Tobacco Plain and Standardized Packaging in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Advice from Experts 1 Methods We conducted semi-structured interviews with 23 participants who played significant roles, as policymakers, tobacco control advocates, or researchers, in the passage of tobacco product plain and standardized packaging policies in their countries (Australia, New Zealand, UK, France, Ireland, Norway, Canada, Thailand, and Uruguay).
