Smoking is still the biggest cause of cancer and death in the UK.

A historic moment! Today the Tobacco and Vapes Act has become law and it’s a huge step towards a #SmokefreeUK.
This world-leading legislation has now made it illegal in the UK to sell tobacco products to anyone born on or after 1 January 2009.

"Anything we can do to save lives is important".
We’ve been speaking to the public about the new Tobacco & Vapes Act, and many share a sense of optimism. The legislation means that around 13m children alive today in the UK will never legally be sold cigarettes in this country.

Having worked on the Tobacco and Vapes Bill, I understand how vital moving towards a #SmokeFreeUK is for public health. It's one of the leading causes of preventable death, disability and ill health.
I was glad to meet with @cancerresearchuk.org to highlight cross-party support for this Bill.

Brilliant news that the Tobacco & Vapes Bill has just been voted through its legislative consent motion in the @parliament.scot. This is a huge step towards a #SmokefreeUK after a similar @niassembly.gov.uk vote in February and we now hope to see @senedd.wales follow suit.

The irony…Wondering round Tabakalera, now the Int’l Centre for Contemporary Culture of San Sebastián, but for 90 years (1913–2003) a tobacco factory.
Meanwhile back home, MPs are about to debate the Tobacco and Vapes Bill.

Big step towards a #smokefreeUK. Interesting debate today before the vote too
NEW: Smoking ban bill, which means anyone born after 1 January 2009 will be prevented from legally smoking by gradually raising tobacco purchase age, passes first Commons hurdle. Tory leader Kemi Badenoch among those voting against.

1/ Tomorrow, 31 May, is #WorldNoTobaccoDay, a day to raise awareness of the harms of tobacco products. Tobacco, when used exactly as recommended by the manufacturer, is the one legal consumer product that will kill most of its users. 2 out of 3 people who smoke will die from smoking.
