Action on Smoking and Health (UK)’s Post

🏛️ As Parliament breaks for summer recess, ASH is disappointed that there's still no date for the Tobacco & Vapes Bill to be debated by peers in committee in the House of Lords. ⏳ It's been 90 days since peers first discussed this vital legislation. Since then: 🚬 Over 7 billion cigarettes have been smoked in the UK and ❗ More than 30,000 young adults have started smoking regularly We can't afford more delays. This landmark Bill is key to creating a #SmokefreeGeneration and helping every smoker quit for good 💪 📊 ASH data shows 65% of people in England want a country where no one smokes – across all ages, incomes, and regions. The public wants it. The evidence supports it. 👊 Let's get the job done. #TobaccoAndVapesBill #SmokefreeUK #PublicHealth #ActNow
