Health Bill

My right hon. Friend and I have been companions in arms on the matter for a long time and have been called a lot of names—I suppose that ““puritans”” was one of the nicest. Hon. Members have called the Bill a ban on smoking. It is not a ban on smoking, but a line in the sand that says that we will from now start a new culture in our country in which people realise that smoking kills them, or seriously affects their health.
