- The United Kingdom passed a tobacco and vapes law banning people born on or after 1 January 2009 from legally buying tobacco.
- It aims to create a “smoke-free generation” by gradually increasing the legal restriction every year.
- Smoking causes about 64,000 deaths annually in England and places a heavy burden on the National Health Service (NHS).
- The law also tightens rules on vaping and expands smoking bans in public places like schools, hospitals, and playgrounds.
- The bill will become law after receiving royal assent, making it one of the strictest anti-tobacco laws globally.
