The Chartered Trading Standards Institute and the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Smoking and Health, a cross-party group of Parliamentarians who campaign on tobacco control, welcomed the return of the Tobacco and Vapes Bill to Parliament today (5 November).
The Bill, which had strong cross-party support in the previous Parliament, will introduce the phased-out sale of tobacco for future generations and give the government powers to regulate vapes to curb youth vaping. Passing the Bill into law will make the UK the first country to introduce a “Smokefree Generation” after a similar law was scrapped in New Zealand last year.
It has some additions, some of which were amendments tabled by APPG members in the last Parliament.
These include:
Powers to create a retail licensing regime for the sale of tobacco and vapes;
Really? not heard of that one before, outside of the tpd and the disposable ban
