MPs to vote on smoking ban for those born after 2009
bbc.com
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.

Lots of smokers do so around their kids. How do you police that?
I dunno.
It's illegal to jack off in front of your kids.
Why don't we make it illegal to smoke in the same house as them, too?
Both seem equally-difficult to police.
Excellent analogy - you're right.
Then you have the "parents" who purposely blow smoke in their baby's face so the baby develops asthma and they can get government money for the baby from disability.
Guys, we found where Reagan's zombie is hiding again. You need to stop doing that and go back to your grave, Mr. President.
Show me proof
Ah yes the best way to make money: have kids.
You're delusional man, me too thanks.
The best way to get free money from the government, that is.
ya and there are literally millions of welfare queens who use there babies like gasoline mules, like they sifone gasoline out of cars in a parking lot and then they have the baby's drink it and then go home and when the baby's pee they have free gasoline
its out of control
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.
