Britain's Tobacco and Vapes Bill, approved by lawmakers last week, is set to receive royal assent this week, permanently barring anyone born on or after January 1, 2009, from purchasing cigarettes. The legislation introduces a rolling age restriction and tightens regulations on vaping and nicotine products.
