Helen Duffy @helenduffyash.bsky.social · 27/10/2025In Parliament today as peers meet for the first time in Committee on the Tobacco and Vapes Bill 🚭 2 key amendments today 💰 A polluter pays levy on the tobacco industry to raise £700m a year 🛣️ A roadmap to a smokefree country, every 5 years to help everyone to quit for good! 031
Helen Duffy @helenduffyash.bsky.social · 17/10/2025My son loves looking at the ads on the tube 🚇 always spotting his favourite musicals 🎶 He saw this one and went "ooh sweets" 🍬 Trading standards are right: shorturl.at/I6yN1 We urgently need regulation for nicotine pouches to stop them being sold and marketed to children 1126
Helen Duffy @helenduffyash.bsky.social · 13/10/2025What's it like to work for a public health charity? 😬 I was a few cigarette butts short for our photo op for MPs on weds. Unfortunately it is REALLY easy to find some 🚬 "Filters" are the most littered item on the planet and my neighbourhood is no exception. 🚭 000
Helen Duffy @helenduffyash.bsky.social · 09/10/2025🧸"Wow mum that looks amazing, can I have one?" 🍬 11g of sugar per pouch (60% of a 5yo's RDA) ⁉️ How does this pass TFL's #junkfood ad ban? 🤨 🚫 And if we're being serious, why does this product even exist? 🤦🏻♀️ Who needs jelly on the go 🤣 #publichealth #ultraprocessedkids #upf 000
Reposted by Helen DuffyAction on Smoking Health (UK) @ashorguk.bsky.social · 08/10/2025We are appalled that public service broadcaster the BBC continues to provide a platform for tobacco industry giant, British American Tobacco, to lobby against the Tobacco & Vapes Bill. So we fixed the headline for them... 1107
Helen Duffy @helenduffyash.bsky.social · 29/09/2025Another day, another example of inappropriate nicotine product placement 😒 Shops shouldn't be putting labubus next to products that are for smoking cessation. Vapes are not toys! 🪀 This is why we need the Tobacco & Vapes Bill! 🧾 000
Helen Duffy @helenduffyash.bsky.social · 29/09/2025Such good news to see this Bill (finally!) getting the Parliamentary time it needs 👏 Major kudos needs to go to all the peers who have been advocating for this landmark Bill and all the tireless campaigners in public health. Let's get it done 🚭 010
Helen Duffy @helenduffyash.bsky.social · 30/07/2025Such a privilege to visit NELFT this morning and see the incredible work they do every day supporting mental health patients. I especially loved these uplifting signs- co-produced with patients- to celebrate and take pride in their smokefree status 🚭👏 020
Helen Duffy @helenduffyash.bsky.social · 24/04/2025Last night the House of Lords debated the Tobacco and Vapes Bill for the first time in an incredibly powerful, emotive and thoughtful debate of almost 6 hours. If you missed it see this thread from ASH on some of the kye points raised. 020
