The plan for legislation to progressively raise the legal age for tobacco sales is the best β€œhealth gift” we can give generations to come. It will ultimately save Β£bns and countless misery in decades to come. Needs earliest implementation.

There is the opportunity for all political parties to adopt the recommendations in the #CancerManifesto. If adopted will deliver #LongerBetterLives. Preventing cancer cases and diagnosing cancer at an earlier stage is good for individuals and the UK as a whole. Royal College of General Practitioners, Cancer Research UK Health Professionals

HPV is everyone’s business. If we can equip: parents to make informed decisions about HPV immunisation for their children; and women about HPV screening, we could eliminate HPV and dramatically reduce HPV related cancers in years to come.

Today I gave evidence at theΒ Tobacco and Vapes Bill Committee in UK Parliament. At Cancer Research UK we fully support the legislation to help create the first #SmokefreeGeneration and I urged the MPs present to back it in full. Together with supporters, this is what we’ve been campaigning

Action on cancer is urgent. We’re seeing cases increase, patients facing unacceptable waits and a funding gap for life-saving research. I've pledged to support Cancer Research UK's campaign to make this election a #TurningPointForCancer. Will you join me? action.cancerresearchuk.org/page/151010/pe…

At Cancer Research UK we have been calling for the UK Government to raise the age of sale for tobacco products, so I'm delighted to hear of its inclusion in today's #KingsSpeech. This will be a vital step towards a #SmokefreeUK and ending cancers caused by smoking, so I now urge governments

Smoking is the leading preventable cause of cancer and premature death, and is a major contributor to health inequality in the UK. Lower smoking rates will ultimately free up NHS money and workforce to tackle other unpreventable illness.

Thanks to the power of research and efforts of NHS staff, we can eliminate cervical cancer as a public health problem in our lifetime in the UK- the HPV vaccine combined with cervical screening can help to bring about a future virtually free from this cancer. I encourage everyone

Every day, around 350 young adults start smoking in the UK. The Tobacco & Vapes Bill would raise the age of sale for tobacco to help prevent future generations from ever starting smoking. So this #NoSmokingDay we’re urging politicians across the UK to back the Bill #SmokefreeUK
