TalkTV's Julia Hartley-Brewer hits out at the Government’s new smoking ban, after Rishi Sunak pushed through the vote in the House of Commons.
MPs voted 383 to 67, majority 316, to give the Tobacco and Vapes Bill a second reading.
The legislation, seen by the Prime Minister as a key part of his long-term legacy, would make it illegal to sell tobacco products to anyone born after January 1 2009, with the aim of creating a “smoke-free” generation.
It does not criminalise current smokers, but is aimed at preventing the harms caused by smoking, the leading causes of preventable illness and death in the UK.
Conservative MPs were given a free vote on the bill, meaning those who voted against the Government’s position will not face punishment.
Julia says: “It is a slippery slope, and inevitably it will become a laughing stock!”
