We are pleased to support this position from @fphuk.bsky.social. The tobacco industry remains incredibly profitable, while producing and marketing a product that will kill more than half of long-term smokers.
NEW 🔔 : FPH supports a ‘polluter pays’ levy scheme for tobacco products in the UK.

This would cap wholesale tobacco prices whilst increasing tax on tobacco or applying a new health levy, limiting industry profits & generating revenue to achieve a smokefree future.

We are delighted to support @fphuk.bsky.social's call for the tobacco industry to pay a 'polluter pays' levy as it should be held liable to pay for a proportion of the health harms and inequalities it creates in society.
