The House of Commons voted by 383 to 67 in favour of a plan to make it illegal for anyone turning 15 from 2024, or younger, to buy tobacco products in the UK.

It does not ban smoking outright but anyone born after 1 January 2009 would not be able to buy cigarettes, with the legal age rising every year, effectively creating a ban on smoking for future generations.

We would like to hear your thoughts on a smoking ban. Do you agree or disagree with the anti-smoking bill? How might a ban affect you or your children? Do you have any concerns?
