Rose Moran, 13, as part of a pioneering Youth Commission, has done extensive research on her peers’ views on tobacco, working towards a smoke-free generation by 2034.

The commission has released a number of recommendations including a 50 metre smoking ban around public places including schools and hospitals, an increase in the age limit for those wishing to purchase tobacco products to 21-years-old in 2031, a ban introduced on selling tobacco to anyone born after 2013 and e-cigarettes must be regulated and distributed for medicinal purposes only, with a ban on all commercial sales.

Rose: “Smoking is a large issue where I come from so this means a lot to me.

“I found it really interesting learning about all the different strategies that the Scottish Government has used in order to combat smoking.”
