Our Tobacco and Vapes Bill will protect the public, NHS and economy from the harms of smoking.

We plan to:

🚭 ban smoking outside schools, children’s playgrounds and hospitals

🧒 create a smoke-free generation

✖️ stop vapes being targeted at kids

[Professor Chris Whitty @CMO_England]

Secondhand smoke harms children and medically vulnerable adults.

Most smokers wish they had never started but were trapped by addiction at a young age.

Marketing vapes at children is utterly unacceptable.

A new Bill in Parliament will address these.
