Letter: Tory hypocrisy over teenagers' health - The Guardian 27th August 2008

I'm no fan of the Labour's record on public health or on young people, but Tory allegations that the government "neglects teenage health" (Report, August 25) reek of hypocrisy and poor judgment. After all, the Tories opposed the ban on tobacco advertising, failed to support the ban on smoking in public places, voted against increases in alcohol duty and - along with Labour - continue to block improvements in school sex and relationships education. All of these have been shown to have direct beneficial effects on the health of young people.
