Today I gave evidence at the Tobacco and Vapes Bill Committee in UK Parliament. At Cancer Research UK we fully support the legislation to help create the first #SmokefreeGeneration and I urged the MPs present to back it in full. Together with supporters, this is what we’ve been campaigning…
Smoking is the biggest cause of cancer in the UK, causing 16 types of cancer, 1 in 5 new cancers and 1 in 4 cancer deaths. We don’t want that for our children. With Durham Youth Council let’s support efforts to create a #smokefreegeneration 🔽
Smoking causes 1 in 4 cancer deaths in the UK. We now have a huge opportunity to help prevent it – children turning 15 this year or younger can never legally be sold tobacco. It’s time to create a #SmokefreeGeneration .
Help make it happen. 🔽

Huge support for a #smokefreegeneration in the North East with ¾ of adults wanting the age of sale for tobacco increased. A #smokefreeFuture for the next generation is absolutely wanted by the public. You can see why here 🔽
Most smokers start young, leading to a lifetime of poor health. Shocking to hear from young smokers in the NE regretting every starting and already feeling the drain on their health. Raising the age of sale is vital is vital to protect the next generation

The Tobacco & Vapes Bill could help create the first #SmokefreeGeneration . Michelle Mitchell gave evidence to the committee & set out why it’s vital to raise the age of sale so no one born after the start of 2009 can legally be sold tobacco - the biggest cause of cancer in the UK.
We're taking action to protect future generations from the harms of smoking through our Tobacco and Vapes Bill.
