Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly proposes raising Ireland's minimum legal age for tobacco sale from 18 to 21.
Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly is set to propose raising Ireland's minimum legal age for tobacco sale from 18 to 21, following a plateau in the decline of smoking rates. The move aims to reduce smoking prevalence and addiction, particularly among those aged 18 to 21, who are at highest risk. If approved, the new law will not affect those currently legally entitled to purchase tobacco products.
