From January next year, the age of buying cigarettes and smoking will be raised to 21.
Starting from 1 January 2021, Singapore will raise the legal age for smoking from 18 to 19 on January 1, 2019. However, it will raise up to further starting in January 2021 where now the age limit is 21 years old to be legal for smoking.
These changes to the Tobacco (Control of Advertisements and Sale) Act passed on yesterday were started to bar people from buying, using, and owning imitation tobacco products such as e-cigarettes, e-cigars, and e-pipes which is an extension of the current ban on sales.
So take note of Singaporeans who are still under 21 years old.
