Andrew, a smoker since he was NINE, thinks smoking should be banned

Jason Mohammad

Available for over a year

With Stoptober around the corner, Jason took listeners' calls on what can be done to get people to quite smoking. Caller Andrew, from Treorchy, says it's time for an outright ban - and he's a smoker himself. E-cigarettes are "definitely" less harmful than smoking tobacco, health bodies in Scotland have stated for the first time. NHS Health Scotland said it wanted to "clarify" confusion around the harms and benefits of vaping devices. More than 20 organisations have signed up to the consensus, which was led by NHS Health Scotland. But health chiefs said that using e-cigarettes while still smoking did not provide any health benefits.
