ever being legally able to purchase tobacco.
Fox News reports that the bill looks to prevent
children turning 15 this year and younger from
ever being legally able to purchase tobacco.
According to the government, the act of smoking
would not be criminalized, meaning that anyone
currently able to legally obtain tobacco would
be allowed to continue smoking in the future.
If we want to build a better future
for our children we need to tackle
the single biggest entirely
preventable cause of ill-health,
disability and death: smoking, Rishi Sunak, Conservative Prime Minister, via Fox News.
According to the British government,
smoking costs the nation an
estimated $21.63 billion every year.
The proposed legislation also includes
restrictions on vape flavors and packaging
intentionally marketed toward children. .
The new legislation reportedly comes
amid a sharp increase in vape usage
by young people in the U.K. .
In February, similar legislation in New Zealand
was introduced, looking to ban tobacco
sales to anyone born after January 1, 2009. .
That bill was repealed
by New Zealand's new
coalition government
