Health Bill

My right hon. Friend will know that I admire what she tried to do at earlier stages of the Bill’s life. Does she agree that we must set against the drift downwards of the prevalence of smoking in the general population—she accurately described that as about one in four people—the fact that two groups buck the trend? One such group is in working-class communities. Work done by SmokeFree Liverpool, which is an immensely effective organisation, shows that in the most deprived wards, as much as half the population smokes. From her observations and statistical analysis, my right hon. Friend will have noted that the number of younger women who are starting to take up smoking is increasing significantly. What does she believe can be done in that regard?
