A Submission on the Tobacco and Vapes Bill 2023-24 (UK) to the Public Bill Committee, House of Commons, United Kingdom Parliament
(2024)
Abstract
The Tobacco and Vapes Bill 2023-24 (UK) provides an effective and robust implementation of the Khan Review, Making Smoking Obsolete: Independent Review into Smokefree 2030 Policies.
United Kingdom Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is to be commended for his innovative new tobacco control policy. The Smokefree Generation policy will improve public health in England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Moreover, the Smokefree Generation policy provides a public health blueprint for other nations around the world to follow and emulate.
The Tobacco and Vapes Bill 2023-24 (UK) is an ambitious effort to create smokefree generations in the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom Government will increase the age of sale for tobacco; reduce the appeal and availability of vapes to children; and strengthen enforcement around tobacco and vaping sales. This bill will be pathbreaking in terms of placing generational limits on smoking.
