Cigarette industry is ‘evil’, says John Crown - Oireachtas News Updates | The Irish Times - Thu, Apr 18, 2013: "The cigarette industry is “evil’’, Independent Senator John Crown said.
Prof Crown, an oncologist, said it should be seen as an industry that needed to be stamped out completely. “We should put it on notice that it is our intention to make the activity which it does completely and comprehensively illegal within a meaningful time-frame,’’ he added. He said he believed Minister for Health Dr James Reilly was a committed campaigner toward the goal of making Ireland a tobacco-free society. “Like those of us who have been privileged to be members of our profession and other caring health professionals, we do tend to get a different perspective on the reality of the evil that is this industry, ’’ he added.

‘Evil industry’
“It is an evil industry and we need to call it what it is. At no level, within our body politic, be it local government, national government, legislature, Civil Service or the EU, should we in any sense be engaging with the tobacco industry."
