In full: PM on banning disposable vapes and calls for Iran to 'de-escalate' Middle East tensions

Rishi Sunak says "improving enforcement" and banning disposable vapes will tackle the "worrying rise in vaping amongst children".

The prime minister has also called for "de-escalation" between Iran and the United States after three US troops were killed in a drone attack in Jordan.

Senators in the US have called for "devastating retaliation across the Middle East" after President Biden blamed "radical Iran-backed militant groups" for the deaths of the military personnel.

So US and UK de-escalate by escalating and then asks Iran to "de-escalate". Only in the West does this make sense.

We have WW3 starting and they talk about vapes on the front news amazing

[corpocorrupt]

Iran must de escalate? Maybe the state commiting genocide should stop doing that.

Calls for Iran to de-escalate but not Israel…

[davidmiller]

Uk/Us must de-escalate they have no business interfering in foreign nations. When we have a host of domestic problams.

PM: Iran must de-escalate (but we can escalate). Palestinians must renounce Hamas (but Israelis can support Netanyahu)

[T-bit]

Bet Iran doesn't have disposable vape problems.

Former Israeli official Brig. Gen. Yitzhak Segev, who wasthe Israeli military governor in Gaza in the early 1980s, told a New York Times reporter that he had helped finance the Palestinian Islamist movement as a "counterweight" to the secularists and leftists of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Fatah party, led by Yasser Arafat. Avner Cohen, a former Israeli religious affairs official who worked in Gaza for more than two decades, told the Wall Street Journal in 2009 that Hamas is "Israel's creation." Hamas was the result of this, as Mehdi Hasan explains. First, the Israelis helped build up a militant strain of Palestinian political Islam, in the form of Hamas and its Muslim Brotherhood precursors; then, the Israelis switched tack and tried to bomb, besiege, and blockade it out of existence.$

why do they continue to allow the importation and taxation of tobacco products, if they are a clear danger to peoples health.
why are they allowing the production, consumption and taxation of Alcohol products, if these products are damaging peoples health.
Billions per year in TAX.
Or, .. they really care about your health.

Sunak is probably the UKs most moronic PM. Nothing he says makes any sense .

[mohmedhassan]

In March 2019, Netanyahu told his Likud colleagues: "Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas... This is part of our strategy to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank."👋

Please god yes ban disposable vapes 100%

[ciaronsmith]

What a clown.
The UK needs to be telling Israel to leave Gaza. That would solve the issue immediately.

He must be getting a rumbling by now at this time of day?

I was a smoker for 5 years. I started when I was 20 after trying to kill myself and always regretted it. I switched to vaping last Christmas and it's significantly cheaper, only £15 a week. Non disposable vapes are cheaper than disposable vapes per week which cost about £35 a week and cigarettes cost a whopping £80 a week. I support this decision.

[daveross-lqnv]

Always read between the lines, the gov don't make money from vapes and want people to spend their money on something they can tax more.

[leet]

If we hand over Sunak to Iran to do as they please would they accept peace in the ME? If yes can we arrange a flight?

[royhay]

Thanks for looking out for us adults, too. 🙂❤ Vaping means I don't smoke.
