The legislation is one of Sunak's flagship policies before an election later this year
LONDON - British lawmakers will vote on Tuesday on moves by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to ban anyone aged 15 and under from ever buying cigarettes.
Lawmakers will be given a so-called free vote on the bill, meaning they do not have to vote along party lines. A similar law in New Zealand was scrapped this year by the new coalition government before the legislation went into force. The legislation is one of Sunak's flagship policies before an election later this year which opinion polls suggest the opposition Labour Party will win.
Sunak has said it will tackle "the single biggest entirely preventable cause of ill-health, disability and death".
