Young people in Manchester have expressed their anger and concerns about Sunak’s plans to ban smoking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

18-year-old Liam Singleton, a political science student at Manchester Met, said: “As much as you want to encourage people to stop smoking and vaping the ban is just stupid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There are better ways to approach these problems like raising the sales to boost the economy.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liam added: “There is a lot of problems going on like the economic crisis. Some people can’t afford to eat and he [Rishi Sunak] is just trying to shift focus on things that are less important.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposed plan would make the sale of tobacco products to anyone born after 1 January, 2009. It was announced by the PM in his speech to the Tory Party conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tobacco and Vapes bill<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rishi Sunak\u2019s bill to ban smoking of tobacco and vapes long term faces backlash and opposition from his MPs and England\u2019s chief medical officer, Chris Whitty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MPs were granted a a free vote on last month on the bill, meaning they do not have to follow a party whip to back it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Labour is in favour of the bill, there are expectations of a rejection from the Tory party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor Sir Chris Whitty said: \u201cCigarettes are a product designed to take your choice away\u201d, adding that resistance against the plan was \u201csurprising.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plan has brought about objections from former PMs Liz Truss and Boris Johnson, who both argue it affects people\u2019s freedom of choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Truss said the ban was \u201cprofoundly unconservative\u201d, with Johnson describing it as \u201cnuts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

19-year-old Tegan Lyons said: “People should have the choice to smoke and vape if they want to but I feel like the limit should be made to 18 years and over because you do find a lot of younger kids like 11-year-olds vaping which is crazy.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Worldwide smoking bans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Measures in the Tabaco and Vapes Bill would constitute some of the toughest anti-smoking measures in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the World Health Organisation<\/a> than one quarter of the world\u2019s population are covered by smoking bans in public spaces. There are 74 smoke-free countries. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
