Today we have introduced the Tobacco and Vapes Bill to Parliament.

Those born on or after 1st January 2009 will never be legally sold tobacco - protecting young people from becoming addicted to smoking

Children should not be vaping - this Bill will stop vapes being deliberately targeted at children through tough fines for rogue traders.

We also plane to ban disposable vapes which are a scourge on our environment, and we will introduce an excise duty on vaping products.

Two thirds of smokers die early because they smoke - that’s 80,000 people a year. This Government is taking tough action to make the next generation smokefree.
