Tobacco and Vapes Bill becomes law
Future generations will now be saved from the harms of smoking as the Tobacco and Vapes Bill becomes law. The bill has been granted Royal Assent, delivering a step towards a smoke-free UK and protecting people from the harms of tobacco by making it illegal to sell tobacco to anyone born on or after 1 January 2009. This legislation means today’s children will never legally be sold cigarettes, breaking the cycle of addiction.
