The Tobacco and Vapes Bill will restrict the sale of tobacco so that anyone turning 15 this year, or younger, can never legally buy it.
Almost £11 billion per year could be freed up and spent in England’s communities if people quit smoking, according to new research.
They found that £10.9 billion – made up of spending on tobacco minus the amount kept by local retailers as profit – could be reinvested in local shops, services and on entertainment. He added: “The total economic benefit of going completely smoke-free would be greater than £10.9 billion. It will effectively raise the age of tobacco sales by one year every year, with the aim of stopping today’s youngsters from ever taking up smoking in the first place.The new study, published in the journal Tobacco Control and shared with the PA news agency, included data from the Smoking Toolkit Study, made up of 18,721 smoking adults who estimated how much they spent on smoking.
