“With the Scottish Government refreshing its tobacco action plan later this year, it is vital that Scotland matches the level of bold and ambitious measures set by New Zealand & Australia in recent months, if we are to achieve the goal of a tobacco-free generation by 2034."

“Tobacco remains the biggest preventable killer in Scotland, causing 9,000 deaths and 100,000 hospitalisations each year, and this demands an acceleration of progress towards taking on the profiteering tobacco industry and its lethal products."

We need to ensure staff
and pupils have the support they need to prevent more young people from taking up vaping and help those who are. As part of our campaign we'll be reaching out to parents, pupils and unions like @EISUnion to get their input. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-6…
