Health Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Howard Stoate (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bills on Health Bill [Lords].
Just to help my right hon. Friend with the figures, 120,000 people die each year from smoking-related diseases, which is about 400 a day—the equivalent of the number on a jumbo jet falling out of the sky. That is the number of young people whom the tobacco companies need to recruit just to maintain the level of smokers in our society.
