Gibraltar Today

Smoke-Free Generation, Clive Golt, Cye-Cyl, Epilepsy

Draft legislation aimed at creating a smoke-free generation has been published. It looks at banning single-use vapes, and regulating the sale of nicotine products, as well as plans to prohibit the sale of tobacco to anyone born on or after 1st January 2009, coming into effect in 2027, when that group turns 18. We spoke to the Director of Public Health Dr Helen Carter.


We spoke to the incoming Media Director yesterday about the importance of two-way communication. And with the announcement of a treaty – or not – on the horizon are people in Spain listening to what Gibraltar has to say? We put this question to the outgoing Media Director Clive Golt.


You may recognise the acronym "CYE-CYL": Change Your Energy, Change Your Life. The group's mission is to empower young people to thrive and flourish for a bright and purposeful life. Isobel Richmond and Romina Mayani-Nankani told us more about their recently announced 2025 summer challenge.


And, last week, countries around the world marked Purple Day - raising awareness for Epilepsy: a condition that affects your brain and causes seizures. So what's it like living with Epilepsy? We spoke to Karim Schembri and Andria Olivares.
