Quick Glance: Top quarterbacks dominate 2024 NFL mock draft roundup

The 2024 NFL Draft kicks off with a focus on quarterbacks, potentially seeing six being selected in the first round for the first time since 1983.

Caleb Williams is expected to go first overall, followed by Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye. The Chicago Bears, holding the first pick, are in search of a new starting quarterback after trading Justin Fields.

Jayden Daniels, the 2023 Heisman Trophy winner, is likely to be drafted by the Washington Commanders. Drake Maye, a standout quarterback without a Heisman Trophy, could be picked by the New England Patriots.

J.J. McCarthy, who led Michigan to a national championship, is another promising quarterback. The 2024 NFL Draft promises a wealth of talent at this pivotal position.

Cigarettes at $15 per pack? Minneapolis might do it.: The anti-smoking move would set the highest minimum price for smokes in the country and ban discounts.

startribune.com/cigarettes-at-15-per-pack-minneapolis-might-do-it/600359377/

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.
