Rishi Sunak's Bold Move: Banning Cigarettes to Protect Youth

Boris Johnson has criticized Rishi Sunak's smoking ban, calling it "barmy" and arguing against the government's interference in personal choices. Johnson warned that such a ban could lead to further restrictions on other unhealthy products and distract the police from more serious crimes. He expressed concerns about the potential glamorization of smoking and the opportunity it could provide for criminal gangs. Sunak defended the ban, emphasizing the public health risks associated with smoking and stating that there is no safe level of smoking.
