Health Secretary Victoria Atkins proposes a smoking ban for under-14s and stricter youth vaping measures, citing Churchill's potential support.
Health Secretary Victoria Atkins suggests that Winston Churchill would support a smoking ban for those aged 14 or younger, despite Churchill's famous cigar habit. The ban aims to protect future generations from the harms of tobacco and would also include new measures to curb youth vaping. Critics like Boris Johnson and Liz Truss have called the plan "unconservative" and "mad," but Atkins believes the policy aligns with the party's tradition of taking tough decisions for the sake of future generations.
