"Over the past few years, I have prepared numerous written questions to the Commission concerning the possible negative effects this Directive may have on Polish farmers. We have to note that revenue from tobacco production in Poland accounts for 36 % of all revenue from agricultural products, and the country is the largest exporter of tobacco products in the EU. Close to 60 000 people make their living by growing tobacco. I do not smoke cigarettes, but I believe that as long as the cigarettes are not directed toward minors, consenting adults who understand the health risks involved should be able to choose whether they smoke or not. We must find the right balance between ensuring the health and well-being of EU citizens and their freedom to make informed decisions. I voted in favour of this report."@en1
