“Mae’n anghyfreithlon gwerthu cynhyrchion tybaco i unrhyw un a anwyd ar neu ar ôl 1 Ionawr 2009”.
“It is illegal to sell to***co products to anyone born on or after 1 January 2009”
Around 10 people die every day from smoking in Wales. 🚭
As the To***co and Vapes Bill receives Royal Assent and becomes law, Wales has reached a landmark moment for public health.
The new law will mean children born on or after 1st Jan 2009 can never legally be sold to***co. It will also introduce new powers to regulate va**ng products, including restrictions on marketing aimed at children. 🙌
But around 260,000 adults in Wales still smoke today, and this legislation alone will not reach them.
With the Senedd election just one week away, we are calling on the next Welsh Government to commit to the investment, enforcement and quit support needed to make a smoke-free Wales a reality for everyone.
