Under 16s To Be Banned From Buying Energy Drinks In The UK
Monday, July 29, 2019 IST
No more Monster, no more Bull.
This is in accordance with a new Health Bill that would be passed, keeping in mind the negative impacts of energy drinks on kids. The Health Secretary, in a leaked letter to The Sun, has mentioned that a new age restriction would be imposed on such, to have a crackdown on kids purchasing it- legally, or illegally.
Matt Hancock, the Health Secretary in question, has decided this to be a precautionary measure.
But on the other hand, this might bring in a kerfuffle with the country’s Treasury, owing to the revenue that will be lost on retailers. This is the latest in a series of new laws and bills passed.
In this month itself, Boris Johnson promised to stop hikes in so-called sin taxes- tobacco, sugar, and alcohol. He also committed to checking if the high rate of tax would affect those with a lower income heavily.
Must be mentioned, Boris Johnson is in the race to be the new Prime Minister following Theresa May’s flagging support.
