UK smoking ban: MPs to vote on banning young people from buying cigarettes | BBC News

Plans to stop young people born since 2009 ever smoking are being debated and will be voted on later.

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s bill aims to create the country’s first smoke-free generation in a major public health intervention.

The Tobacco and Vapes Bill would ensure anyone turning 15 from this year would be banned from buying cigarettes, and also aims to make vapes less appealing to children.

But a number of Tory MPs have told the BBC they won’t back the bill.
