“There are factors that can increase the risk of harm to the unborn baby and many of these are influenced by health inequalities.

The Health Secretary announced his ambition to reduce stillbirth, neonatal death and maternal death by 50% by 2030. In January 2019, that ambition was accelerated to achieve 50% reductions in stillbirth, maternal mortality, neonatal mortality and serious brain injury by 2025.”

The Tobacco and Vapes Bill will be a landmark step in creating a smoke-free UK.

It will introduce a smoke-free generation by gradually phasing out the sale of tobacco products across the country: the bill makes it an offence to sell tobacco products, herbal smoking products and cigarette papers to anyone born on or after 1 January 2009. Children born on or after this date will never be able to be legally sold tobacco products, breaking the cycle of addiction and disadvantage.

The products in scope include:

• cigarettes

• hand rolled tobacco

• cigars

• cigarillos

• pipe tobacco

• waterpipe tobacco products (for example, shisha)

• chewing tobacco

• heated tobacco

• nasal tobacco (snuff)

• herbal smoking products

• cigarette papers
