Britain’s parliament to vote on strict anti-smoking rules

LONDON, Nov 26 (Reuters) – British lawmakers will on Tuesday debate and vote on plans to introduce some of the world’s strictest anti-smoking rules, including banning younger people from smoking.

The Tobacco and Vapes Bill aims to make vapes less appealing and would ensure anyone aged 15 this year, or younger, would be banned from ever buying cigarettes.

It would ban vape advertising and the sale of vapes in vending machines, as well as restricting vape packaging and flavours that overtly appeal to children and young people, such as bubble gum and cotton candy.
