UK's smoking ban passes first Parliamentary hurdle, Sunak faces Tory rebellion over ban

Quick Glance: UK Lawmakers Support Groundbreaking 'Smoke-Free Generation' Bill

The British government's plan for a landmark smoking ban to prevent young people from ever smoking passed its first hurdle in Parliament despite opposition from within Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Conservative Party.

The bill, announced by Sunak, would make it illegal to sell tobacco products to anyone born after January 1, 2009, creating one of the toughest anti-smoking measures in the world to establish the 'first smoke-free generation' in modern Britain.

The bill also includes measures to crack down on youth vaping, such as banning the sale of cheap disposable vapes and restricting their flavors to prevent children from becoming addicted to nicotine.

The number of people who smoke in the U.K. has declined by two-thirds since the 1970s, but approximately 6.4 million people in the country still smoke, accounting for about 13% of the population. Smoking remains the number one preventable cause of death, disability, and poor health.

Quick Glance: Who Could Support George Galloway in Parliament?

George Galloway is set to make his way back to Westminster.

Galloway, also known as “Gorgeous George,” has been a figure of controversy, yet his eloquence and campaigning skills earned him praise.

Despite causing estrangement from former friends across the political spectrum in recent years, Galloway still maintains some allies in the House, including Jacob Rees-Mogg and Jeremy Corbyn.

An unconventional book launch by Rachel Cockerell injects a fresh perspective into the traditional British events of its kind.

British Royal Navy's Trident Nuclear Missile Test Ends in Failure, Crashes Near Launch Site

techtimes.com/articles/301880/20240221/british-royal-navy-trident-nuclear-missile-test-failure-crashes.htm

Quick Glance: Failed Trident missile launch shakes UK

Reports indicate an unexpected outcome in a Trident missile test last month, where a missile landed in the ocean off the coast of Florida.

This incident marked the second consecutive test failure of a Trident missile following an incident in 2016.

Defense Secretary Grant Shapps, aboard HMS Vanguard to witness the test, confirmed the presence of an 'anomaly'.

Heightened international tensions have led to scrutiny of the British Navy's readiness, especially after a flagship had to be withdrawn from a NATO exercise.
