Tobacco and Vapes Act: Regulating the Graveyard
The UK Tobacco and Vapes Bill will reshape how vaping products are sold, marketed and regulated. While youth protection remains important, broad restrictions on flavours, packaging and promotion could also affect adult smokers who rely on vaping to move away from cigarettes. For vapers, the key issue is whether regulation targets irresponsible sales without weakening access to lower-risk alternatives. Good policy should protect young people while preserving vaping’s role in reducing smoking-related harm.
11.80% of the adult population are current smokers. There are approximately 6.7 million current smokers in United Kingdom 13.60% of men are current smokers but only 10.10% of women.
