On Monday, the Tobacco & Vapes Bill reaches the Committee stage in the @houseoflords.parliament.uk . Smoking kills 64,000 people in the UK every year, including infants & children. Every day, 350 young people start smoking regularly 🚭It is vital the Bill is passed without further delay.

🚭The smokefree generation policy will mean that anyone born on/after 1 Jan 2009 will never be able to legally be sold tobacco. 🔦This means that the age of sale will go up by one year, every year until eventually no one will be able to be sold tobacco. (2/5)

🎉On Monday, the Tobacco and Vapes Bill returns to Parliament 🚭The Bill will create a world-leading ‘smokefree generation’, but what does this mean in practice? 💡(1/5)

1/2 Tobacco companies sold people a lie that filters made smoking safer. But filters don’t protect smokers from cancer-causing chemicals, and cigarette butts are the world’s no.1 littered item.
