lpv:spoken text	"Against. My party has made it clear from the very beginning that we oppose all aspects of this Directive. Ironically, the measures outlined in the Directive are flawed on so many levels that they are unlikely to stop people smoking anyway. For instance, banning smalls packs will simply make people buy more cigarettes; banning menthol and other flavoured cigarettes will simply increase the cigarette black market; and demanding that large health warnings be put on cigarette packs will make counterfeiting easier, fuelling the black market yet further. In this sense, we believe that this Directive is misinformed and unfit for purpose."@en1
