Smoking could cause 300,000 cancer cases in UK by 2029, study finds
The UK is aiming to eradicate smoking with a bill proposing to raise the legal smoking age gradually to prevent tobacco-related cancers. MPs are urged to support the bill as Cancer Research UK highlights the alarming impact of smoking and the thousands of preventable cancer cases. The bill also targets vaping restrictions to curb appeal to youth. Statistics show the urgent need for action, with thousands of cancer cases attributed to smoking daily. Passing this bill could save lives and reduce healthcare strain. The public health initiative is crucial in combatting tobacco addiction and improving overall well-being, with potential significant health benefits for future generations.
