MPs will vote today on world-leading legislation to protect future generations across the UK from the harmful effects of smoking.
The Tobacco and Vapes Bill, if passed, will make it an offence to sell tobacco products to anyone born after 1 January 2009, with the aim of creating the first smoke-free generation. This crucial step aims to prevent over 470,000 cases of heart disease, stroke, lung cancer, and other deadly diseases by the turn of the century.
The Bill also includes measures to curb youth vaping, with new regulations on flavors and sales to make vapes less appealing to children. The government seeks to address the rise in youth vaping and the unknown long-term health impacts associated with it.
Stakeholders, including health officials, public health advocates, and medical experts, have voiced their support for the Bill, emphasizing the need to protect young people from the dangers of nicotine addiction and tobacco-related diseases. The proposed legislation represents a milestone in tobacco control efforts and aligns with the UK’s commitment to public health and disease prevention.
