The Tobacco & Vapes Act has become law. This world-leading legislation will help to create the first ever smokefree generation.

Dad died of lung cancer after a life smoking and I was hooked at the age of 13, and took 25 years to quit.

Today is a very good day. #SmokefreeUK

[Cancer Research UK Policy @CRUK_Policy]

We did it! The Tobacco and Vapes Act is now law, helping to create the first ever smokefree generation in the UK.

Today, we celebrate alongside campaigners and partners, who have championed this legislation. This is a huge moment for our Smokefree UK campaign and a major milestone in our mission to beat cancer. #SmokefreeUK #SmokefreeGeneration

Every day, around 56 people in Wales are diagnosed with cancer, and around 25 people die from it.

That’s why, ahead of the election to the Senedd in May, we’ve launched our new campaign, calling on all political parties to act on cancer.

Will you help make this election a turning point for cancer in Wales by joining us?👉 https://t.co/oM6oCcI17v

The National Cancer Plan is here.

It’s the most ambitious plan on cancer in a generation, built with the support of the cancer community.

Thank you to everyone who shared their story to help create it.

Your voices are shaping the future of cancer care.

Great to be back @niassembly today with fellow volunteer @CRUK_Policy Campaigns Ambassador, Aisling, for @CR_UK’s Cancer Research event, showcasing the life-saving impact of the research it funds right here in Northern Ireland. @Michelle_CRUK 🧬🔬

[Cancer Research UK Policy @CRUK_Policy]

Around 20,000 people in Northern Ireland won’t start treatment on time over the next five years unless emergency action is taken to protect patients. The Northern Ireland Executive must now develop an emergency stabilisation plan, prioritising patients at the highest risk. https://t.co/XOBlQtVVNM

Our No Time To Wait report sets out why we need to see immediate action to protect patient safety by reducing the backlog of people still waiting for diagnosis and treatment. Link to the report in the comment below 👇

This week, the Senedd backed the Tobacco and Vapes Bill. 👏

Anyone born after 1 January 2009 will be unable to buy any tobacco products, which will create Wales’ first smoke free generation. 👇

🎙️ This morning on BBC Radio Wales, our amazing volunteer ambassador Jody Bullock spoke about the devastating impact smoking had on his grandad, who sadly died from lung cancer.

As the Senedd votes on the Tobacco and Vapes Bill today, Jody’s story is a powerful reminder of why this legislation is so important.

Hugely grateful to our incredible @CRUK_Policy @CRUKCymru volunteer Campaigns Ambassadors. They’ve tirelessly given their time, voice and lived experiences, helping influence and gain the support of Senedd Members for the Tobacco & Vapes Bill to be adopted in Wales. #SmokefreeUK

🎄 Day 4 of #12DaysOfChristmas 🎄
Delighted that the Senedd has voted to consent to the Tobacco & Vapes Bill in Wales. Alongside our partners, we’ve been proud to support this landmark legislation and its implementation here in Wales.

Smoking remains the leading cause of cancer in Wales — and today’s vote is a meaningful step towards helping to change this in the years ahead.
