It is important that we look to the implementation of the smokefree generation. With the right support and guidance, retailers will be able to implement the policy. However, will delivery drivers for supermarket shops and Deliveroo drivers, for example, be given the same level of training and information? Will they be as invested in enforcing the age of sale as shop owners and other workers? Currently, online sales are not exploited by under-age individuals attempting to circumvent the law. However, we must be mindful that that may happen in the future. In a country that is moving ever closer to becoming smokefree, should tobacco continue to be available and delivered to our doors at the click of a button? I think not.
