Hazel Cheeseman, CEO of public health charity Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) tells TalkTV she is very supportive of Rishi Sunak’s proposed ban.

She thinks the ban in an important step forward to making the country smoke free, as tobacco is a highly addictive and lethal product.

Cheeseman said: “If it was brought to the market today, it would NOT be allowed.”

Alex Phillips questioned whether the ban would actually be enforceable.

Kevin O’Sullivan said: “What should we ban next, drinking?”. Kevin wondered if banning things was ‘just illiberal’.
