A poetic thought each episode and incisive discussion of apposite topics. This episode: The legal smoking age in England could reportedly be raised from 18 to 21 after a “radical” review into plans to make the country smoke-free by 2030.
An independent review commissioned by the health secretary, Sajid Javid, and led by Javed Khan, the former chief executive of the children’s charity Barnardo’s, is also expected to support new taxes on tobacco company profits, according to the Telegraph. The review is also expected to recommend the NHS increase efforts to encourage #smokers, particularly among pregnant women, to switch to vaping and #e-cigarettes. Is this a good thing? Mark and Pete have the answers, weigh in with your comments.
