The UK plans to ban smoking and vaping outside schools and hospitals under a new Tobacco Bill.

The UK government plans to ban smoking and vaping outside schools, hospitals, and children's playgrounds as part of the Tobacco and Vapes Bill aimed at creating a smoke-free generation. The bill will also implement licensing for retailers selling tobacco and vaping products.

Public consultation on these measures will take place over the coming months.
