#SmokefreeGeneration
T&V Bill passes into the House of Lords as MPs resoundingly vote to phase out the sale of tobacco to the next generation. One step closer to #smokefreegeneration

ASH is excited to be in Parliament today for the first Report stage debate of the Tobacco and Vapes Bill in the House of Lords. 👏
The debate will kick off with the landmark #SmokefreeGeneration policy 🚭

This achievement should not be underestimated. Two years ago this legislation felt impossible to achieve. Last night 366 MPs backed it and 41 opposed. We will create #smokefreegeneration
We are thrilled that the Tobacco and Vapes Bill has today passed its Third Reading, taking us one step closer to the first smokefree generation 📢🚭

It will now start its journey through the House of Lords where we urge peers to support it for a #SmokefreeUK

Great new analysis showing that smoking isn't just bad for health it's bad for our economy. It creates almost no UK jobs and if people bought other things it would create 135k jobs. Time to create a #smokefreegeneration
🚨 New research finds that making the UK smokefree isn’t just good for health—it’s a huge win for the economy too. Our new analysis with Landman Economics found that a smokefree UK could create 135,000 more jobs, adding ~ £10 billion to the economy. 👇

We did it! The Tobacco and Vapes Act is now law, helping to create the first ever smokefree generation in the UK.

This is a huge moment for our #SmokefreeUK campaign and a major milestone in our mission to beat cancer. #SmokefreeGeneration

The Tobacco & Vapes Bill is a vital chance to end smoking for future generations. It will prevent addiction, protect health, and is backed by nearly 7/10 NE adults.
We urge the Government to fast-track it.

Great to hear politicians of all parties still voicing support for the Tobacco and Vapes Bill. We call on the Government to table it as soon as possible to create a #SmokefreeGeneration.

We have lost over 8m loved ones to tobacco in the last 50yrs. Smoking is still the single biggest cause of preventable death in England.

1/3 We fully support the Tobacco & Vapes Bill – it’s a crucial step towards protecting future generations from the harms of smoking. But this Bill alone won’t deliver a #SmokefreeGeneration.
The job is far from done 🔽

Nobody who starts smoking young ever expects to smoke for life, or to be told they have cancer as a result. The House of Lords vote last night supporting the Tobacco and Vapes Bill is a historic step towards ending the death & disease from smoking for the next generation. #SmokefreeGeneration
