"We estimate around 13 million children alive now will never be legally sold tobacco because of this law. If its impact matches projections, population level exposure to one of the most potent, avoidable carcinogens could fall sharply, with up to 10 million fewer cigarettes smoked each day in the UK by 2040."

This is only good news. Trying to frame it as anything else is utterly bizarre.

Apart from the human health impact, cigarette butt waste has been an environmental problem the entire time cigarettes have existed. Obviously, disposable vapes have massively increased this.

We have to loosen Tobacco's chokehold.

The Tobacco and Vapes Act is now law, which means around 13m children alive today will never legally be sold tobacco in their lifetime.

A while back I saw someone claiming that the new Tobacco & Vapes legislation was 'ageist'.
It's literally the opposite.

Tobacco companies have always relied on people developing a habit young, to lock in an addicted customer base, all while killing at least half of all users. But it takes decades, and the science wasn't there at first - then they suppressed it - so cigarettes still exist. And now they've got the vaping market too, which was a mistake to allow to happen.

But work like this means fewer people starting to smoke in the first place. Saving lives. Access to deadly, highly addictive products from unethical profiteers isn't freedom. It's a crime against humanity. Past time we made more progress stopping it.

@vozercozer no... The problem with tobacco is how addictive nicotine is. Like the most addictive thing we know of. So people starting smoking is the issue - if we could stop Tobacco getting its claws in people, the demand would fizzle and die.
Instead of people going through that.
Tobacco kills HALF its users. Half! We would not allow ANY new product with that risk. The problem is addicts already exist.
So it's about phasing it out. It's not ageism, the point is that people start smoking at some time so you block access before then.

Existing smokers need quit strategies and that's a different ballgame. That's why we now have plain packaging, health warnings, advertising bans and purchase by request only, not on the shelves.

I hope that helps. Please read more around this bill.

Franchement, fumer ne te rend pas plus cool 🚬❌
C’est surtout ton cerveau qui associe le geste à une habitude, plus que la nicotine 🧠
Du coup tu répètes ce mouvement sans même t’en rendre compte… et ça devient automatique 🔁
Si tu veux vraiment faire quelque chose de stylé pour toi, change ce réflexe : trouve une autre occupation, bouge, teste un truc nouveau 💪✨
Là oui, tu prends soin de toi — et ça, c’est vraiment cool 😎
