New poll, same result
Tuesday, January 14, 2025 at 8:41 The Tobacco and Vapes Public Bill Committee is meeting in the House of Commons today.
The T&V Bill includes a ban on the sale of tobacco to all future generations of adults and I can now reveal the result of the latest poll on the subject.
The fieldwork was conducted by Yonder Consulting over the weekend (10-12 January) and the full question was:
In the UK the age at which you are legally an adult is 18. At that age a person can vote, drive a car, join the army, buy alcohol, and possess a credit card. Do you think that when a person is legally an adult they should or should not also be allowed to purchase cigarettes and other tobacco products?
The last time we asked that question was in October when the result was almost identical. On that occasion 60% said ‘should’, 31% said ‘should not’, and 9% said ‘don’t know’.
Public opinion is consistent and clear. When a person is legally an adult at 18 they SHOULD be allowed to purchase cigarettes and other tobacco products.
Shamefully, our elected representatives are not listening.
