No Brit born after 2009 will ever be able to smoke legally, if bill passes
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.

Magnitude 4.8 Earthquake Hits New York City Region
Quick Glance: Magnitude 4.8 Earthquake Rocks New York City and Northeast US
  • An unusual East Coast earthquake startled millions from New York to rural New England. Over 42 million people may have felt the midmorning quake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.8.

  • President Joe Biden offered assistance, while New York City reported no major safety or infrastructure issues. Engineers emphasized that New York skyscrapers are made of high-strength materials and designed to sway slowly to withstand impacts. Even the delicately placed eggs in a sculpture at a Chinatown art gallery remained unharmed during the quake.

Biden holds four-point lead over Trump, Reuters/Ipsos poll shows
Quick Glance: Biden Leads Trump by 4 Points in Reuters/Ipsos Poll
  • The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll shows that U.S. President Joe Biden has widened his lead over Donald Trump as the Republican candidate gears up for the first of four upcoming criminal trials.

  • In the survey, 41% of registered voters stated they would vote for Biden, a Democrat, compared to 37% who chose former President Trump. This 4-point lead was an increase from the 1-point lead Biden had in a Reuters/Ipsos poll in March.

  • The poll has a 4% margin of error for registered voters, and many voters remain undecided seven months before the election.

  • While nationwide surveys are crucial indicators of American support for political candidates, only a few competitive states typically sway the balance in the U.S. electoral college, which ultimately determines the winner of a presidential election.
