Ban chewing tobacco to prevent cancer and litter

We would like the Government to ban the import and sale of chewing tobacco products to and in the UK. Chewing tobacco can cause cancer and we feel that the spitting in residential streets and shopping areas causes a great deal of litter.

We feel that it is a danger to health and creates a great deal of environmental damage through littering and anti social spitting in streets and public spaces. We believe that local people are fed up with it and local authorities are having to spend money to clean it up.
