Wijziging van de Tabakswet ter verhoging van de minimumleeftijd van 16 jaar naar 18 jaar van personen aan wie tabaksproducten mogen worden verkocht (Verhoging minimumleeftijd verkoop tabaksproducten)

Stage submittedUpdated 5mo ago

This motion proposes an amendment to the Tobacco Act to raise the legal age for purchasing tobacco products from 16 to 18 years. The goal is to further discourage youth smoking and protect young people from nicotine addiction. If adopted, this change will affect teenagers between 16 and 18 and tobacco retailers, who would be prohibited from selling tobacco products to minors under 18.
