Great policy announcement, prevention makes sense. So many long-term benefits will flow from this decision, including helping to close persistent gaps in health. Welcome reinforcement of UK leadership on tobacco policy #smokefreegeneration #stoppingthestart

[UK Prime Minister @10DowningStreet]

Smoking is the single biggest preventable cause of death in our country.

Prime Minister @RishiSunak’s plans, announced today, will mean kids who turn 14 this year or younger can never legally be sold cigarettes in their lifetime.

ASH welcomes the PM’s “unprecedented” announcement today, which will help deliver a #SmokefreeFuture for all and help with #MakingSmokingObsolete.

[Professor Chris Whitty @CMO_England]

Smoking causes multiple harms including stillbirths, lung disease, heart disease, stroke and dementia. A quarter of cancer deaths are caused by smoking.

Most smokers regret starting.

This will prevent ill health, disability and death.

#OnThisDay 40 years ago, #smallpox was made history.

It's the only human disease to be eradicated so far.

A lesson we must take is: when the 🌍 unites behind science and public health measures we can defeat diseases and protect lives and livelihoods.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Today for the first time 100 countries are reporting #COVID19 cases. This comes after the 🌍 reached 100,000 cases yesterday. While very serious, this should not discourage us. There are many things everyone, everywhere can and should do now. #coronavirus

Today I thanked media for their support - as providers of information, they play a vital role in the response to #COVID19. We rely on them to make sure people have accurate information about the threat they face & how to protect themselves & others.
