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 amending the Tobacco Act to raise the legal minimum age for purchasing tobacco products from 16 to 18 years. The goal is to further protect young people from nicotine addiction and improve public health outcomes. This change primarily affects teenagers aged 16 and 17, who would no longer be legally allowed to buy tobacco, and retailers who must enforce the stricter age limit.
