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.

In addition to its expanding violence throughout the entire region, the Israeli military is still slaughtering Palestinians in Gaza — and it's counting on all of us to be too distracted to pay attention. We refuse to look away.

1/ Tomorrow, 31 May, is #WorldNoTobaccoDay, a day to raise awareness of the harms of tobacco products. Tobacco, when used exactly as recommended by the manufacturer, is the one legal consumer product that will kill most of its users. 2 out of 3 people who smoke will die from smoking.
