Tobacco and Vapes Bill

Proceeding contribution from Anna Dixon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 November 2024. It occurred during Debate on bills on Tobacco and Vapes Bill.

I congratulate my right hon. Friend on introducing this once-in-a generation public health measure. As he acknowledges, too many people are dying young from the effects of smoking. They are losing out on being grandparents and on the opportunity to live a long and healthy life. Smoking is a leading cause of health inequality, so does he agree that the proposals will help close the shocking gap in life expectancy between the rich and poor?
