The deputy prime minister, Nick Clegg, is pressing ahead with his mission to roll back what he terms the "obsessive lawmaking" of the New Labour years. In today's speech to students at London's City and Islington College he said he wanted people to get involved in "our very own Great Reform Act". (Guardian)Don’t forget the hated Smoking Ban Experiment Nick, amendments are needed, now!

Excellent to see such a well written letter in the mainstream press! The resources ploughed into the anti smoking industry are phenomemal, esp in relation to the good that they do.
It's amazing that the health services want smokers to stop smoking to improve the chances of effective treatment, when they put so much money into smoking cessation medications that don't work effectively.
