Raising the age from 18 is seen as crucial in eradicating smoking by 2030.
The age at which people can buy tobacco and cigarettes in England should be raised year by year so that eventually no-one can buy them, a review says.
Under the plan the age of sale would rise from 18 by one year every year so the children of today will never be allowed to buy tobacco.Smoking rates have been falling since the 1970s. But there are still six million smokers in England - seven million across the UK.Smoke free goal 'a huge challenge' Achieving that will be a huge challenge, which is why Health Secretary Sajid Javid asked former Barnardo's chief executive Mr Khan to review the current rules and approaches.
The number of deaths caused by smoking is falling - but it remains the leading cause of preventable illness and premature death and is estimated to cause a quarter of all cancer deaths.Prof Jim McManus, president of the Association of Directors of Public Health, said if the government was to implement the recommendations they would "make a huge difference to the nation's health".
