MPs to vote on new smoking ban in House of Commons today
Quick Glance: UK Lawmakers Support Groundbreaking 'Smoke-Free Generation' Bill
  • The British government's plan for a landmark smoking ban to prevent young people from ever smoking passed its first hurdle in Parliament despite opposition from within Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Conservative Party.

  • The bill, announced by Sunak, would make it illegal to sell tobacco products to anyone born after January 1, 2009, creating one of the toughest anti-smoking measures in the world to establish the 'first smoke-free generation' in modern Britain.

  • The bill also includes measures to crack down on youth vaping, such as banning the sale of cheap disposable vapes and restricting their flavors to prevent children from becoming addicted to nicotine.

  • The number of people who smoke in the U.K. has declined by two-thirds since the 1970s, but approximately 6.4 million people in the country still smoke, accounting for about 13% of the population. Smoking remains the number one preventable cause of death, disability, and poor health.

Labour pledges to halve number of vape stores nationwide
Quick Glance: Labour aims to halve number of vape stores nationwide
  • The Labour Party plans to limit the number of vape stores nationwide to 600 and implement a licensing system if re-elected to address youth vaping.

  • Labour leader Chris Hipkins acknowledges the need for further measures to curb youth vaping, including banning disposable vapes and preventing new retailers from opening near schools.

  • Capping the number of vape stores at 600 would result in a reduction of over half.

  • The new limits on nicotine levels are intended to coincide with a ban on new vape stores within 300m of schools and marae, a requirement for removable batteries in vapes, and a regulation restricting vape flavor names to generic terms.
