The Tobacco & Vapes Bill will fix our broken health system using a preventative approach.   It was great to meet @AshOrgUK, @TheBHF, @CR_UK, @asthmalunguk, @mentalhealth & @age_UK today.   Together we can deliver a smoke-free UK, breaking the cycle of addiction and disadvantage.

What the King's Speech means for our lungs - wonderful news on the smoking bill, but we are disappointed to still be waiting for action on clean air: x.com/asthmalunguk/s…

Today, the government announced in the #KingsSpeech that they will bring back the Tobacco and Vapes Bill. This means that children born today will never be able to buy tobacco, protecting thousands of families from the pain of losing their loved one to a lung condition.

The UK will become the first country in the world to roll out a national vaccination programme against Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), protecting infants & older people from becoming seriously ill. RSV accounts for 39,000 hospitalisations each year. gov.uk/government/new…

New blog: @asthmalunguk and the Richmond Group are calling for the new Labour government to bring back the Tobacco and Vapes Bill as soon as possible. The opportunity to protect future generations from deadly tobacco addiction is too great to miss. richmondgroupofcharities.org.uk/publications/b…

In the next five minutes, somebody will die from a lung condition. Decades of government inaction is killing them. The next government must commit to prioritising lung health and cleaning up the air we breathe. ➡️ Ask election candidates to take action: orlo.uk/eff6Y

Today, NICE have given approval for the life-changing #cysticfibrosis modulator drugs to be made available on the NHS in England. This follows many years of campaigning by Cystic Fibrosis Trust and people right across the CF community. ow.ly/XGMs50SmgJR
