Something for the weekend

I shall be on Sky News in the morning (7.10am) which means a very early start to get to west London from Cambridgeshire.

You can tell it's the silly season because there doesn't seem to be much in the story. All I know is that someone from the North East (a professor?) is calling for Britain to be smoke free by 2032.

Sky asked me to recommend a few people who might be available for an interview to "support people’s right to smoke" so they obviously hope to keep the story rolling throughout the day.

I suggested half a dozen names, some of them readers of this blog. Watch this space.

Update: UK could be a 'no smoking nation' by 2032 (Sky News)
