MPs propose raft of tough new measures aimed at getting more people to stop smoking
Individual cigarettes could have “smoking kills” printed on them under a raft of tough measures proposed by MPs to encourage more people to quit the deadly habit.
MPs have submitted an amendment to the health and care bill going through parliament which would allow the health secretary to make graphic health warnings mandatory.
Raise the legal age for buying cigarettes from 18 to 21.
Stop e-cigarette makers using tactics that might entice children to try them, such as sweet flavourings and cartoon characters.
Make it illegal to give e-cigarettes away free as sampler products, as some manufacturers have done.
