bbc.com/news/uk-politics-68824493
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: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial
- A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.
- The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.
- Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.
- The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.
