CALL TO ACTION 

The Tobacco and Vapes Act presents a significant opportunity to protect future generations from tobacco/nicotine addiction while supporting young people who are already using nicotine products.

We encourage all alliance members to reflect on:

• What implementation of the Act means for your organisation and local partnerships.
• How we can work together across Bexley to ensure a coordinated and consistent approach.
• What more we can do collectively to support young people who are already addicted to nicotine and reduce health inequalities.
