LONDON: UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak aims to gradually raise the legal age for consuming cigarettes in a move that would introduce a ban for the next generation.
The age would increase by one year annually so that “a 14-year-old today would never legally be sold a cigarette,” Sunak said at the Conservative Party conference in Manchester on Wednesday. The government also plans to restrict the availability of disposable vapes and will look at the packaging and flavors of those products.
