Cancer Research UK warns smoking could cause nearly 300,000 cancer cases by 2029, pushing for stricter tobacco laws.

Cancer Research UK predicts that smoking could lead to nearly 300,000 cancer cases by 2029 in the UK, with around 160 new cases daily. The charity is calling for MPs to support the Tobacco and Vapes Bill, which would gradually increase the legal smoking age to prevent those born after January 1, 2009, from buying tobacco. The bill also aims to restrict vape advertising and flavors to reduce appeal to young people.
