"This law means that a child who is 14 years old today will never be legally sold cigarettes, and they and their generation can grow up without cigarettes," Sunak said.
Rishi Sunak underlined that the vote in the British parliament on this issue will be a "free vote".
Sunak also made statements regarding the use of electronic cigarettes, "We will also introduce measures to restrict our children's access to electronic cigarettes by looking at flavors, packaging displays and disposable electronic cigarettes.
