Proceeding contribution from Lord Stoddart of Swindon (Independent Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 9 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Health Bill [HL].
Health Bill [HL]
That was a bit flippant, wasn’t it? There was only one executioner and his assistant. We do not have capital punishment and I would not want it to be reintroduced. It says on tobacco packets, "Smoking kills", but smoking does not kill everyone who smokes. Will the Minister confirm that 78 per cent of people who die not from smoking but from "smoking-related diseases" are over the age of 65? We have all got to die from something, you know.
