"Mr President, before I left for Strasbourg, I met my great friend and colleague, Mr Giuseppe Italia – that really is his name, the same as my country, Italy – and Giuseppe Italia, who lives in Cremona, said to me: ‘I know that you are going to vote on this report. That is good, I am in favour of that. I am a chain-smoker and I am prepared to go out of my house to have a cigarette if there is someone indoors who does not like smoke. However, I am sixty-two years old: I don’t drink, I don’t have sex any more because ...’ – he did not expand on this point – ‘but, at least, leave me the pleasure of smoking cigarettes for I do not disturb anyone and I have no other pleasure left in life.’ Therefore, I voted for the motion: I am in favour of smoking in appropriate places and I am against increasing taxation on cigarettes."@en1
