The influence of Big Tobacco in politics is always concerning, especially when it affects public health policies. It's important to remember that while cigarette use has declined, other forms of tobacco consumption, like shisha tobacco, remain popular. Many people view shisha as less harmful, but the truth is, it carries its own set of risks. The connection between political funding and the tobacco industry makes it harder to push for stricter regulations on all tobacco products, including shisha. It's crucial that we stay informed and advocate for policies that prioritize public health over corporate interests, regardless of the form tobacco takes.

Cheap as well.
Conservative MP Adam Afriyie, who accepted £19,000 worth of all-expenses paid trips to speak at Tobacco industry conferences in the past two years, says that smoking bans "don't work" and are "ridiculous".
Conservative MP Gareth Johnson, who is Chair of the 'All Party Parliamentary Group on Responsible Vaping', which is solely funded by the vaping industry, says the smoking ban in the Tobacco and Vapes bill is "absurd", "incredibly patronising" and "completely the wrong approach"
