I'm speaking in a debate at Oxford University tonight.

Organised by a student society called Tainted Goods, the proposition is "This House believes that the tobacco industry is responsible for its consumers' habits."

I'm told that ASH were invited to take part but declined. Instead the motion will be proposed by three students.

Ellie, Louis and Will were all members of the 2014 England Debating Team that won the World Schools Debating Championships in Thailand that year. All of them have been actively involved in Oxford debating and have represented the university at national and international tournaments, including the World and the European Universities Debating Championships.

The opposition is me and another student. Something tells me this will not end well.

PS. It could have been worse. I could have been no platformed.
