The British government's initiative to ban cigarettes and disposable vapes is gaining attention amidst a broader push to reduce smoking rates and combat cancer. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has released a new Framework aimed at accelerating smoking cessation, aligning with @POTUS's Cancer Moonshot goal to halve cancer-related deaths within 25 years. This move comes as health organizations highlight the urgent need for legislation, with statistics showing that 350 UK 18-25 year-olds start smoking regularly each day, and tobacco is responsible for one death every five minutes in the UK. Critics, however, point out significant flaws in the government's approach, labeling some policies as contentious and others as misguided. Leading health organizations urge @10DowningStreet and @DHSCgovuk to put the Tobacco and Vapes Bill to parliament.
