Shops shouldn't be putting labubus next to products that are for smoking cessation. Vapes are not toys! 🪀

This is why we need the Tobacco & Vapes Bill! 🧾

Such good news to see this Bill (finally!) getting the Parliamentary time it needs 👏

Major kudos needs to go to all the peers who have been advocating for this landmark Bill and all the tireless campaigners in public health.

Let's get it done 🚭

Such a privilege to visit NELFT this morning and see the incredible work they do every day supporting mental health patients.

I especially loved these uplifting signs- co-produced with patients- to celebrate and take pride in their smokefree status 🚭👏

Last night the House of Lords debated the Tobacco and Vapes Bill for the first time in an incredibly powerful, emotive and thoughtful debate of almost 6 hours.
