<<Prime Minister to create ‘smokefree generation’ by ending cigarette sales to those born on or after 1 January 2009>>

"Proposed new legislation will make it an offence for anyone born on or after 1 January 2009 to be sold tobacco products – effectively raising the smoking age by a year each year until it applies to the whole population. This has the potential to phase out smoking in young people almost completely as early as 2040."

Jesus tapdancing Christ!
