Smoking among young people in England could fall to extremely low levels within a generation and lead to major health gains, according to new research examining the impact of the UK’s smokefree generation law.
Last year, the United Kingdom’s government proposedan anti-tobacco bill to "break the cycle of addiction." The legislation, which has not become law yet, would permanently ban the sale of tobacco products to anyone born on or after 1 January 2009, with the legal age of sale increasing by one year, every year.
