Increase the legal age for smoking each year until no-one in England can buy tobacco products, a review has recommended
The plans would create a "smokefree generation", with people under a certain age unable to buy cigarettes and other tobacco products at all.
Dr Khan, who led the review, said: ""Without immediate and sustained action, England will miss the smoke-free target by many years and most likely decades."A smoke-free society should be a social norm - but to achieve this, we must do more to stop people taking up smoking, help those who already smoke and support those who are disproportionately impacted by smoking.
"It was a privilege to work on this review and get the opportunity to improve the health of people across the country, and I look forward to seeing the government's response."Sajid Javid said in speech on health reform on 8 March: "Richer communities get healthier – and healthier communities get richer. Healthy people work more, learn more and earn more.
"A smokefree society should be the social norm, which is why there should be even more smokefree places , where people cannot smoke," the review says.
