Proceeding contribution from Lord Lansley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 29 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill.
Health Bill
I understand my hon. Friend’s point, which is important, and it is one of the reasons why exemptions would be needed for people who, to all intents and purposes, are at home, such as people in long-term care. There are limits to liberty, however, and the limit to the liberty to smoke is that one should not impose second-hand smoke and its risks and dangers on others. However sympathetic we might be about the addiction to or habit of smoking among older people, we should not allow that to turn into a risk to the health of others through second-hand smoke.
