"This reform will save lives, ease pressure on the NHS, and build a healthier Britain. Children in the UK will be part of the first smoke-free generation, protected from a lifetime of addiction and harm."
"It is, in fact, the biggest public health intervention in a generation and I can assure all noble Lords it will save lives."
The UK Parliament has approved a bill preventing anyone born on or after January 1, 2009 from purchasing tobacco for life. This initiative aims to create a smoke-free generation and protect public health. The Tobacco and Vapes Bill, introduced by Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Wes Streeting, will also empower ministers to regulate tobacco and vaping products. Additional measures include banning vaping in specific public areas and restricting advertising to children. The bill is expected to receive royal assent soon, marking a significant public health intervention.
