Ban Anyone Aged 15 And Under From Buying Cigarettes As Prime Minister Vows To Create A Smoke-free Generation

Dec 27, 2024 Leave a message

British Prime Minister Sunak's plan to ban anyone aged 15 and under from buying cigarettes passed the first round of parliament on the 16th. According to Reuters, the bill will prohibit the sale of cigarettes to people born on or after January 1, 2009. This means that the legal age for those unable to buy cigarettes will rise every year, and the ban will remain with this generation indefinitely. While the bill was praised by health care experts and supported by the opposition Labour Party, some members of the Conservative Party opposed it.

 

The Office for National Statistics estimates that by 2022, about 6.4 million people in the UK smoked, or about 13% of the adult population. Youth smoking rates remain high, with more than 12% of 16 - and 17-year-olds in the UK smoking.

 

Sunak was initially inspired by New Zealand. New Zealand passed a "generational Smoking ban" in December 2022, banning the sale of tobacco to people born on or after January 1, 2009, requiring the reduction of nicotine content in tobacco products and the reduction of the number of tobacco retailers. However, New Zealand announced in February that the ban would be repealed because of concerns that it could make the black market for tobacco more difficult to control.
