The UK’s Plan To Phase Out Smoking And The Implications For Australia
Last week, the U.K took an important step towards phasing out smoking; introducing a law to increase the current legal age for cigarette sales, currently at 18, by a year, each year, from 2027. This would mean people born from 2009 onwards will never be able to legally buy cigarettes in the UK.
Dr Christina Watts, Research Fellow at the Daffodil Centre, University of Sydney, a leading research centre on cancer control and policy, joined Annie Lee on 2SER Breakfast to discuss the UK’s latest plan to phase out smoking and the implications this could have for tobacco control in Australia.
