Tobacco age to be raised to 18
Date: 30th June 2008
The Northern Ireland health minister Michael McGimpsey has announced that the legal age for buying tobacco will rise from 16 years of age to 18.
The change will become a legal obligation on September 1st 2008.
Speaking today, Mr McGimpsey said "It is clear that we must do all we can to deter our children and young people from taking up the smoking habit, Smoking kills and I want that message to be heard loud and clear by our children and young people. I understand that raising the age of sale will not, in itself, solve the problems of children's smoking. It is one step along the way,"
