UK government proposes generational tobacco ban to reach smoke-free goal

The UK government is considering a generational ban for most tobacco products — but not e-cigarettes — as well as restrictions on disposable vapes and flavours, according to proposals issued this week.

In its document Stopping the Start: Our New Plan to Create a Smokefree Generation, published yesterday, the Department of Health and Social Care also spells out plans that include toughened enforcement on retailers.
