On #WorldNoTobaccoDay we’re calling for the money needed to help fund Stop Smoking services to come from a levy on the tobacco industry. These services are vital to creating a smoke-free future for the UK, and Parliament could do this right now by amending the Tobacco and Vapes Bill.

We welcome the ban on the sale of disposable vapes which is vital in stopping young people who have never smoked from vaping. But the ban on sales is only the first step.

This #VolunteersWeek, we want to say a special thank you to our incredible volunteers. They play a vital role in our mission to transform lung health across the UK 💜

A big thank you to BBC Radio Wales for having our Policy and Public Affairs Officer Bec Miller on the show today to talk about the harms of disposable vapes and why we support the ban. You can listen again here 1 hr 11 in: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
