We are thrilled that the Tobacco and Vapes Bill has today passed its Third Reading, taking us one step closer to the first smokefree generation 📢🚭
It will now start its journey through the House of Lords where we urge peers to support it for a #SmokefreeUK
Great conference on #TurningPointforCancer, thank you campaigns team, looking forward to working on this with whoever is elected in Farnham and Bordon @donjerrard @ruk_gedhall @alexdjust @GregoryStafford @KhalilYousuf
This general election needs to be a turning point for people affected by cancer.
I'm calling on party leaders to back Cancer Research UK's calls for #LongerBetterLives

As speculation of a snap #GeneralElection continues to grow The Charity Commission today issue a press release pointing to their very helpful guidance on charity campaigning in a general election year… thus adding to the growing speculation

#TobaccoandVapesBill Please get this through @JeremyHuntMP while we can
What would a snap #generalelection mean for #TobaccoandVapesBill?
It would be a travesty if this legislation & life saving legacy for this Parliament was lost #smokefreegeneration

#InTheNews: The day we’ve been waiting for! New legislation is being brought to Parliament to increase the age of sale for tobacco to help create the first-ever #SmokefreeGeneration across the UK.
Together, this is what we’ve been campaigning for and we urge all MPs to vote in favour.
You can show your support by emailing your MP: action.cancerresearchuk.org/…

‘More than 450,000 cancer patients miss treatment target since 2019’
Almost 1 in 2 will get cancer. It affects every family in every constituency
At the General Election voters will want all parties to have a plan to meet this challenge #cancermanifesto

Today is #NoSmokingDay 📅
Smoking is the biggest cause of cancer in the UK and stopping smoking reduces the risk of at least 15 different types of cancer.

For my generation fear of cancer was much more reasonable than it now is - as early diagnosis and improved prognoses make presenting symptoms early is just common sense self care
Action by @CR_UK campaigns ambassadors and thanks to @Jeremy_Hunt for his ongoing support for @CRUK_Policy #SmokeFreeGeneration

Grateful that @Jeremy_Hunt made time to meet and for his ongoing support for @CR_UK Cancer Research
Great opportunity to catch up with @CR_UK Cancer Research UK’s Sarah Newman and Charity Campaigns Ambassador Yo Green this afternoon. We are making great strides with this horrible disease, but much more to do. I’ll be running this year’s London Marathon to raise funds…more details to follow soon….
Great to see this- the promise of #LongerBetterLives
Very proud to be at the launch of @CR_UK #ManifestoForCancer at Francis Crick Institute. A roadmap for the future of cancer care and outcomes for the UK. All we need now is a #government bold and strong enough to implement it #LongerBetterLives #ResearchIsWhereHopeStarts

Less smoke, more life
Are you prepared to make step changes in preventing disease @SteveBarclay @RishiSunak? Since smoking is the biggest preventable cause of cancer and death in UK and cost to public finances was £20.6 billion in 2022… a good place to focus more action? #SmokefreeUK @CRUK_Policy

1/We need more funding for tobacco control. But we’re still waiting for UK Govt to act.
A ‘polluter pays’ fund would make tobacco companies – not the taxpayer – pay for this. And MPs from all political parties want a fund introduced.

There are no silver bullets to address enormous harms caused by tobacco. However a 'polluter pays' fund, popular with the public, has support from MPs on all sides, paid for by tobacco industry, not the taxpayer...sounds like a good idea @Jeremy_Hunt @SteveBarclay #SmokefreeUK 👇
