Smoking ban: 'This is not about demonising smokers,' says health secretary.
Under the proposed smoking ban, someone who was born on or after 1 January 2009 will never legally be allowed to buy tobacco.
It would effectively raise the legal age for buying cigarettes in England by one year every year, until it applies to the whole population.
Health Secretary Victoria Atkins said, "this is not about demonising current smokers."
