    That isn’t always the case though. Just look at climate scientists.

    Some just want to ban smoking because they see how much damage it has done in their community.

    But I’d also like to know if there was any vested interests.

      I’m not sure what this has to do with climate scientists. What am I supposed to be looking at?

      Rishi has a history of making legislation to benefit the companies run or owned by friends and family. I would be extremely surprised if this didn’t also have a similar angle.

        Just some good old “whataboutism”. Maybe he sprinkles some climate-change denial into some prohibition discussion to distract us?
