Plans to stop young people born since 2009 ever smoking are being debated and will be voted on later.
Rishi Sunak’s bill aims to create the UK’s first smoke-free generation in a major public health intervention.
The Tobacco and Vapes Bill would ensure anyone turning 15 from this year would be banned from buying cigarettes, and also aims to make vapes less appealing to children.
A number of Tory MPs have told the BBC they won’t back the bill.
The BBC understands that Business and Trade Secretary Kemi Badenoch is considering voting against the plans.
You make fun of things that actually happen because you don’t want to believe that they happen. Not all children have happy childhoods.
Children are sometimes born to people who abuse and neglect them. It’s reality, not something to make fun of.
dont tell me im making fun this is a thing that happens all the time just like your scenario and needs to be stopped. its like you want this to happen
You’re making a joke about people abusing children. That’s disgusting.
