Norway's new head of health shared some interesting words of advice in her first days in office, exhibiting a more free-spirited approach to her position than many of her predecessors.
"I mean, I believe people should be allowed to smoke, drink and eat as much red meat as they want," Listhaug told NRK. "The authorities may like to inform, but people already know pretty well what is healthy and what isn't. It isn't a political task to tell people what they should and shouldn't do." "Although smoking is not good, because it is harmful, older people have to decide for themselves what they do," Listhaug told NRK. "The only thing we as governments are to do is to provide information so that people can make informed choices."
Listhaug has previously served as the minister of agriculture and food, minister of immigration and integration and, most recently, the minister of justice. She resigned from this latest role last March amid widespread backlash after claiming on Facebook that the center-left Labor Party "cares more about the rights of terrorists than national security" due to their refusal to back her call to withdraw Norwegian citizenship for those deemed a threat to national security.
