The United Kingdom has taken a further step towards banning smoking from those born since 2008.
If the provisions are met, the law will enter into force from next year, which will make it illegal to sell tobacco products to those born after 2008.
The British Government shall also have the power to regulate tobacco products (tobacco, e-cigarettes and nicotine), including their packaging, flavors and advertising.
It is also prohibited to smoke electronic cigarettes in passenger cars, children's parks or in the vicinity of schools and hospitals.
The ban on smoking for children under 17 years of age has been welcomed by major anti-smoking associations, but some opposition parties have criticized the difficulty of implementing the law. Populist Nigel Farage, for example, has promised to repeal this "stupid" law if he wins the next general election.
