Nora Smith, Director of Policy, Research and External Engagement at Cancer Focus NI speaks to Pivotal about what the new Tobacco and Vapes legislation means: pivotalpolicy.org/our-work/p…
Action on Smoking and Health NI (ASH NI) and Cancer Focus Northern Ireland Welcomes Historic Smokefree Generation Law - a major step forward in protecting public health.
Read our statement: cancerfocusni.org/news/smoke…
ALT Statement on Smokefree Generation Law
“Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer and many other diseases. This legislation is a landmark moment. The creation of a smoke free generation is a bold and necessary step that will protect future generations from the harms of tobacco.”
ALT “However, legislation alone is not enough. In NI there needs to be a coordinated approach to tobacco and nicotine product use - with focussed prevention programmes, investment in stop smoking services, widespread campaigns, funded enforcement; especially targeting communities and groups where smoking rates remain highest.
This is a once in a generation opportunity to reduce harm, tackle health inequalities, and move closer to a tobacco free society.”
Said by Naomi Thompson from Cancer Focus NI

The Tobacco and Vapes Act has become law today, helping to create Northern Ireland’s first ever smokefree generation. This law is a significant step forward towards protecting future generations from the harms of smoking.
