Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As we have discussed with these last few questions and answers, there is a host of initiatives underway. The biggest issue is going to be to make it unacceptable, to make people recognize the incredible health risks that smoking causes, that it causes to pregnant mothers, that it causes to children, and the terrible impact that second-hand smoke has, which people tend to ignore or not consider an issue. It is very significant. There have been some recent court cases where there have been substantial settlements based on the results of second-hand smoke, so that we have to keep making the case on the front end, the prevention side, the education, being a role model, and keep up that issue, or keep up that approach in dealing with this issue. Thank you.
