Pass the Tobacco and Vapes Bill before the next General Election
Pass the Tobacco and Vapes Bill (smoking ban bill) in line with the Chief Medical Officer's advice and without any influence or interference from Big Tobacco lobbyists, before the next General Election.
We have watched loved ones suffer and die, early and painfully, we believe due to Big Tobacco's use of addiction over the years to take away choice and profit immensely at the expense of people's health and lives, and of the UK and wider world's societal well-being. Some of us are dealing with the same horrendous outcomes in our own health and lives, or, having quit, are fearful of the impacts we have stored up for our later lives due to the number of pack years we accumulated before quitting. We believe it is high time for the UK Parliament to show the resolve and moral courage to excise this societal cancer once and for all from the UK, setting a strong example for the rest of the world.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
