Charities take smoking protest to Parliament

A human sandwich and a hot dog took on two giant cigarettes in a larger-than-life tug-of-war outside the Houses of Parliament last week .

Cancer Research UK and Asthma UK staged the performance to highlight the ludicrous choice pubs are being forced to make under current Government proposals: food or fags.

The demonstration coincided with the second reading of the Government's Health Bill in Parliament.

As it stands, the Health Bill allows pubs that don't serve "prepared" food to continue to allow smoking.

Both charities are backing Caterer's Stub out Smoking campaign to make all public places smoke free.
