Northern Ireland on course to join UK smoking ban

Stormont has backed Northern Ireland becoming part of a new Westminster law that would stop young people born since 2009 from ever smoking.
 
The Tobacco and Vapes Bill aims to phase out the sale of cigarettes.
 
It would make it illegal to sell tobacco products to anyone born on or after January 1, 2009, after they turn 18.
 
It would also provide powers aimed at addressing vaping among young people.
 
The bill is part of the UK government's plan for a smoke-free generation.
