The UK may ban cigarettes for future generations
STORY: The UK may be close to banning younger
generations from ever buying cigarettes
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is proposing to
raise the smoking age by one year, every year
He says that means a 14-year-old today will
'never legally be sold a cigarette' in their lifetime
Sunak says smoking costs Britain's National
Health Service $20.6 billion per year
A ban could potentially phase out cigarettes
completely for young people by 2040
and give Britain some of the toughest
smoking laws in the world
