Tobacco and Vapes Act 2026

The Tobacco and Vapes Bill introduces strict new regulations on tobacco and nicotine vaping products in the UK. Key measures include raising the age of sale for tobacco products gradually until no one under 14 can legally buy cigarettes, implementing plain packaging requirements, restricting the sale and advertising of vapes (particularly to prevent youth uptake), and banning certain vape flavours that appeal to young people. The bill aims to reduce smoking rates and address growing concerns about youth vaping addiction.
