The British government will introduce a bill in parliament on March 20, 2024, to prevent children turning 15 this year or younger from ever being able to be legally sold tobacco.
The British government will introduce a bill in parliament on Wednesday to fulfill its promise to phase out smoking among young people by banning tobacco sales for future generations. The Tobacco and Vapes Bill, if passed unamended, will be one of the world's toughest anti-tobacco laws and prevent children turning 15 this year or younger from ever being able to be legally sold tobacco.
The British government said smoking costs its National Health Service and economy an estimated $21.63 billion a year. A sharp rise in vape use by non-smokers and young people has forced the British government - a proponent of vaping as a way to reduce the harms of smoking - to consider tougher controls.
