Viewing pornography should be regarded as a public health problem, MPs warned in late October.
The issue was raised by the Women and Equalities Committee, chaired by Maria Miller, which wants to launch a campaign to stop people consuming pornography, including a ban on watching it on public transport, which men have been witnessed doing.
The proposal was made that the government should take an evidence-based approach to addressing the harms of pornography, similar to the ‘huge investment there has been in tackling road safety, or preventing public health problems caused by smoking’.
