The UK Tobacco and Vapes Bill was introduced in November 2024. It has progressed significantly with the support of all UK countries, as well as many health experts who have signed a public letter calling for the bill to be passed quickly. Due to this and the purpose of the bill being to protect the public and youth, it will likely be passed by early-2026, with some amendments possibly being incorporated before passing. The bill establishes a broad regulatory framework for tobacco and vaping products, which will be up to the Labour government to further develop.
