England bans cigarette vending machines

Cigarette vending machines have been officially banned in England, to make it more difficult for children to get hold of them.

According to the British Heart Foundation (BHF), around 200,000 young people start smoking regularly in England each year and 11 percent of 11 - 15-year-old smokers in England and Wales get their cigarettes from vending machines.
