1️⃣ Introduce a “Polluter Pays” levy 💷
Big Tobacco’s huge profits should help fund support for the 6 million smokers in the UK. A £700m annual levy could transform quit services and in the current economic climate, we can’t afford not to.

Writing in @thegrocer.bsky.social, former @yougov.co.uk President Peter Kellner highlights strong public support - among all voter segments - for further action on tobacco policy, including a levy on Big Tobacco and extending outdoor smoking ban in pubs & cafes.
