Ex-chancellor urges UK PM extend sugar tax and raise legal age for tobacco to curb obesity and cancer
Smoking should be banned and the sugar tax extended to include fruit juice and milkshakes, George Osborne has said.
In 2016, the Conservative former chancellor announced a sugar tax on soft drinks such as Coca-Cola and Irn Bru, claiming the money would be used to provide more sports funding for primary schools. It was not levied on milk-based drinks or fruit juices.
