Rejected petition 18 to be the minimum age for Smoking
More details
Right now in the UK there is not minimum age to smoke.
Why is this?
Why do we not have a minimum age?
Everyday I see people smoking that are certainly under the age of 16, I am seeing people smoking at 13 years old.
This is not right, they don't understand the consequences.
So a minimum age should be introduced and that minimum age should be atleast 18.
