Rishi Sunak urges his cabinet to back his smoking ban, emphasizing the need to protect future generations and reduce the 80,000 annual deaths. Despite expected opposition, the government is pressing ahead with the vote, leaving MPs with a free choice on the matter.
Former PMs Liz Truss and Boris Johnson are among high-profile opponents of the smoking ban, citing concerns over freedom of choice and enforcement challenges like age verification. The government plans for MPs to have a free vote on the issue, expecting the ban to pass with Labour's support.
