Iain Macleod is credited with popularising the phrase ' Nanny State' way back in 1965 .

He used it to criticise measures such as the Labour government announcing a ban on cigarette advertising on commercial television.

Today , just 14.6 per cent of the UK ’s male population smoke, so you could say that it was indeed a comprehensive victory for the nanny state.
