I hate smoking, it’s a disgusting habit and it kills people.
So you may be surprised to hear I don’t think it should be banned.
This will create a black market. Just like I don’t think drugs should be banned.
Just make them harder to buy, make it easier (and free) to get help giving up, and ban it from public spaces.
Why do the Tories say Labour is a “nanny state” and then go around banning everything‽
