Why has such a groundbreaking change to legislation not got much attention?

So this week, legislation was passed meaning that anyone currently aged 17 or under will never be able to purchase cigarettes legally in their lifetime. I think that’s fantastic and hope that it will lay the foundations for future generations to never start the habit, including my own children. Do many other countries have similar legislation? I know there’s a lot going on in the world right now but I can’t believe how little news time this has got.

It’s all over the news. At least on my feed!
