A ban has been approved in the UK that will prohibit the sale of cigarettes and vapes to people born after 2008, effectively imposing a lifetime ban on smoking for those individuals. The legislation, which has been passed by UK lawmakers, will prevent anyone in this age group from purchasing tobacco products. The exact details of the ban are not entirely clear, but it appears to apply to those born in 2009 and later, or alternatively, those 17 and younger.
