apnews.com/article/britain-smoking-ban-0780fd4fc9afcdc002a0544252ef907a
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: Rare Sight: Volcanoes Emit Smoke Rings
- Images and videos from the past few days show Europe’s tallest active volcano, Mount Etna, blowing out near-perfect circular smoke rings into the Sicilian sky.
- The smoke rings are coming from a small vent on Mount Etna’s southeast crater and are caused by the constant release of gases.
- These volcanic smoke rings are extremely rare, formed when gas bubbles are pushed through the narrow central part of volcanic conduits and then wrap around themselves to be propelled hundreds of meters into the air.
- An ash cloud from Mount Etna's eruption in August last year resulted in flight cancellations, delays, and diversions, impacting millions during the holiday season.
