Health Bill

When the right hon. Gentleman was Secretary of State for Health, he did not spend anywhere near the amount of money that the present Government have spent on smoking cessation. Ireland had a smoking prevalence of one in three before the ban. After 18 months of the ban, the smoking prevalence is one in four. Does the right hon. Gentleman agree that there is a lot to be gained from taking such action—not banning smoking, but banning it in places such as pubs and clubs?
