Yes, Prime Minister1986

Dr. Peter Thorn -Minister of State at the DHSS:
Well, briefly, I'm proposing that the government should take action to eliminate smoking: complete ban on all cigarette sponsorship and advertising, even at the point of sale, ?50 million to be spent on anti-smoking publicity, ban smoking in all public places, and progressive deterrent tax rises over the next five years until a packet of 20 costs about the same as a bottle of whisky.

James Hacker:
Isn't that rather drastic?

Dr. Peter Thorn -Minister of State at the DHSS:
Absolutely.
