with Kaye Adams
Kaye asks - when it comes to smoking - to stub out or to not stub out? Also on the show, Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills, Jenny Gilruth, answers listener questions.
PHONE-IN: SMOKING BAN
MPs have backed a plan to ban anyone born after 2009 from buying cigarettes, effectively ensuring it will become law. The measures, championed by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, survived despite opposition from several leading Tory figures - including two ex-PMs. Health Secretary Victoria Atkins told MPs 'there is no liberty in addiction' as she defended the plans. The Tobacco and Vapes Bill passed by 383 votes to 67. If they become law, the UK's smoking laws will be among the strictest in the world. The UK's approach is thought to have been inspired by a similar law in New Zealand, which was later repealed after a change in government. Speaking in the House of Commons, Ms Atkins said the plan would create a 'smoke-free generation'.
