Big tobacco firms using 'old playbook' to resist Bill for smoke-free generation - The Mirror

  • Big Tobacco is resisting the Tobacco and Vapes Bill in the UK, which aims to create a smoke-free generation and set global precedents, according to research from the Tobacco Control Research Group at the University of Bath.
  • The industry is using familiar tactics, such as claiming the Bill will harm small businesses and fuel the black market, to weaken tobacco regulations, stating that their focus is profit rather than public health.
  • Polling from Yonder Consulting shows that 66% of 18-24-year-olds prefer options other than the generational ban, indicating a divide between public sector and private sector support for tobacco sales age measures.
  • The research analyzed 43 submissions from the tobacco industry during the policymaking process, showing a pattern of resistance to tobacco control laws.
