Naga Munchetty was scolded by Chris Whitty on BBC Breakfast for interrupting him during a discussion on the UK\u2019s new smoking ban.<\/p>\n
The UK government\u2019s chief medical adviser, who guided the nation through the pandemic and has, er, inspired Joe Lycett\u2019s art, chastised the presenter for jumping in mid-way through an answer on Thursday\u2019s episode.<\/p>\n
Telling off Naga, the 57-year-old said: \u2018Can I answer your question, Naga, because you asked an important question.\u2019<\/p>\n
The 48-year-old had asked Chris how the tougher smoking measures would affect older generations who have smoked for years, noting that it was hard addiction to kick.<\/p>\n
Chris began to explain the ban would largely affect \u2018future generations\u2019 before Naga interrupted with: \u2018Can I just clear this up?\u2019<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, Rishi Sunak announced the\u00a0smoking age limit, which is currently 18,\u00a0will go up by a year every year in an incremental New Zealand-style ban.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\u2018That means a 14-year-old today will never legally be sold a cigarette and that they and their generation can grow up smoke-free,\u2019 the prime minister told\u00a0Tory conference-goers.<\/p>\n
He has also announced a new crackdown on vaping, vowing to scrutinise \u2018flavours, packaging, displays and disposable vapes\u2019.<\/p>\n
Adding that data suggests one in five children now use e-cigarettes, Sunak said: \u2018That is shocking and wrong. And we must act before it becomes endemic.\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fortunately, Chris was much better behaved than a recent \u2013 and unwelcome \u2013 guest on BBC Breakfast.<\/p>\n
Naga actually struggled to\u00a0maintain her composure\u00a0on\u00a0the morning news show\u00a0when showed a video of a man\u2019s\u00a0unfortunate run-in with a pigeon.<\/p>\n
The presenter ended up wiping away tears and declaring she was \u2018sweating\u2019 when a hilarious video of a bird flying right into the head of an unsuspecting man was played.<\/p>\n
We shouldn\u2019t, but we\u2019re laughing too.<\/p>\n
