"This afternoon marks the end of this Bill's journey throughout Parliament. It is a landmark Bill, it will create a smoke-free generation. It is, in fact, the biggest public health intervention in a generation and I can assure all noble Lords it will save lives."
"What we really need is a proper understanding of how we educate people not to take up smoking."
"I can overall assure Lord Naseby, as I've done on a number of occasions, about how closely we have worked with retailers, and we will continue to do so."
The Tobacco and Vapes Bill has passed Parliament, prohibiting anyone born after January 1, 2009, from purchasing cigarettes. This legislation aims to create a smoke-free generation and includes new regulations on tobacco, vaping, and nicotine products. Vaping will be banned in cars with children, playgrounds, outside schools, and hospitals, while allowing it in outdoor hospitality venues and private spaces. Health minister Baroness Merron emphasized the bill's significance as a major public health intervention that will save lives, despite concerns from some industry members about its impact.
