Walgreens announced Tuesday that it was raising the required age to purchase tobacco products to from 18 to 21.
The legal age to buy tobacco products remains at age 18 for both the U. K. and the United States, but Walgreens is still looking to change their policies, CNN reports.
“We’ve seen positive results from other recent efforts to strengthen our policies related to tobacco sales, and believe this next step can be even more impactful to reduce its use among teens and young adults,” said Richard Ashworth, Walgreens president of operations.
