    On Friday's Backchat, Global Focus look at the latest developments in the US Presidential election following President Biden’s decision to withdraw from the race.

    Has Vice President Kamala Harris entry into the race given the Democrats’ a better chance of success? Or is former President Donald Trump still the odds-on favourite? And from China to Ukraine, where does Kamala Harris stand on foreign policy, and what implications would she have for this part of the world? 

    Later in the programme, we hear from local green groups about their concerns about the government’s plans for a South Lantau Eco-Recreation Corridor.

    Calls to ban smoking by 2030 / Discussion with Micah Sandt, actor of "Gweilo"

    主持人:Danny Gittings and Paul Zimmerman

    On Thursday's Backchat, we're talking about proposals for a total ban on tobacco by 2030.

    Making the suggestions in response to a public consultation ending this month, HKU researchers called on authorities to raise tobacco taxes to 75 percent of retail prices by next year before an outright ban in seven years’ time.
    Citing support from 70% of the 12,000 respondents surveyed between 2019 to 2021, the researchers described Hong Kong as being in the "best position" for such measures while highlighting a need to further incentivise smokers to quit.
    But despite attitudes towards smoking being rather unfavourable, smokers' groups have raised concern over what they say could potentially deprive them of their individual choice to smoke.
    What do you make of these proposals? Long overdue? Or too harsh?
    After 9:45, we discuss with the actor of Gweilo, a bilingual solo adaptation of novelist Martin Booth's autobiography, depicting the life of an expat boy in 1950s Hong Kong.
