Public Consultation on Smoking and Vaping

Correspondence from Education Authority.
 
Northern Ireland is included in a public consultation launched recently by the Prime Minister on smoking and vaping. This eight-week UK-wide consultation covers proposals to make it illegal for anyone born on or after 1 January 2009 to ever be sold tobacco products at any point in their lives. The consultation also includes a series of proposals to clamp down on the sale and use of vapes by children and young people, including restrictions on flavours, display, packaging and disposable vapes.
 
Comments in response to the public consultation are welcome from anyone, of any age, in Northern Ireland.
