Letter
Isn’t it time to stub out the fag ads?
Dear healthmatters — The lack of action on tobacco advertising is fast becoming a national scandal. Labour has been promising a ban on advertising since 1997, but despite a promising start the whole thing seems now to have been forgotten.
How can the Department of Health say it is taking action to meet the new health inequalities targets, while at the same time ignoring effective national action on what everyone agrees is the biggest single preventable cause of death? It is simply unbelievable.
