UK Ban on Generational Smoking

In a landmark public health decision, both chambers of the British parliament have passed legislation to phase out smoking entirely.

The new law makes it illegal to sell tobacco products to anyone currently aged 17 or younger for the remainder of their lives.

The bill also introduces strict new regulations on vaping and nicotine pouches to prevent youth addiction.

While the measure has received widespread support from health advocates, some critics have raised concerns about the impact on personal liberties and the potential for a black market.
