Smoking ban plan - will England kick the habit?

Why you can trust Sky News

The prime minister wants to stop younger generations from taking up smoking - by making it illegal for anyone who is currently 14-years-old to ever be able to buy them.

Rishi Sunak's plan - announced in his Tory conference speech on Wednesday - is similar to measures already introduced in New Zealand, aimed at tackling health problems related to smoking.

But critics argue people should have the freedom to choose - not the state.

On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson explores the debate - both from a health and political perspective - as he's joined by Deborah Arnott, from the public health charity ASH (Action on Smoking and Health), the Conservative peer and former health minister Lord Bethell and our deputy political editor Sam Coates.
