Victory for the Tobacco companies. No new law to protect children
The Ex-Deputy Chairman and a director of British American Tobacco must be very pleased now he is back in Government and in the Cabinet.
// In March 20 senior doctors called for a sweeping extension to anti-smoking laws, urging the government to prohibit smoking in vehicles and public places visited by children like parks and playgrounds.
Its report warned that 9,500 children had to be admitted to hospital every year due to passive smoking. //
Now the Government's new health minister has said "We have studied the smoke-free legislation and decided not to proceed with the planned review, because we feel the legislation is working."

Ken Clarke and his mates at BAT will be happy tonight.
What are your opinions for and against the now dead law to protect children?

No-one can expect everyone to just stop if they make it illegal. I wouldn't have stopped if someone was trying to make me stop after 50 years, there would have been panic stations. I stopped because I wanted to, in my own time. Drug takers are given more support, and nicotine is just as addictive it isn't easy to pack them in.
