Smoking gun: Rishi Sunak to raise cigarette buying age in UK

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak plans to gradually increase the legal age for consuming cigarettes, with the aim of introducing a ban for the next generation. The age would rise by one year annually, meaning that a 14-year-old today would never be legally sold a cigarette. The government also intends to limit the availability of disposable vapes and review the packaging and flavors of such products.
