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.

Quick Glance: Germany Legalizes Home Cultivation: Embracing Cannabis Users in Society
- In a large grey facility outside Dresden, Demecan grows medical cannabis. A new law decriminalizes possession and home cultivation of cannabis. Critics raise health concerns, while proponents praise the quality and tax revenues.
- Under the new law, adults can possess up to 25g in public, hold 50g at home, and grow up to three plants. Private 'cannabis clubs' can supply 500 members on a limited basis starting in July.
- Controlling THC potency is limited, especially for those under 21. To avoid 'drug tourism,' recreational users can only grow cannabis at home or obtain it through 'cannabis clubs.'
- Passing the law was contentious. The government aims to curb the black market and ensure product quality, but opponents fear health risks, especially for youth. The public is divided on legalization, with a slim majority against the law.
