The Health Ministry has drawn up a series of proposals aimed at reducing the number of smokers- particularly amongst the young. As part of the plan, the Ministry proposes raising the age at which smoking and smoking products are permitted from 18 to 21, and banning the sale of disposable e-cigarettes. The aim is to cut the percentage of the population which smokes down from the current 20% to just 5% by 2035. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with former Likud MK Yehuda Glick , who pushed for similar anti-smoking measures when he was a lawmaker, and asked him if he welcomed the Health Ministry package.
