Starting October 1, 2007, it is no longer legal to sell tobacco to people younger than 18 in Great Britain. Because the questions in the Life in the UK Test are based on the manual “Life in the UK - A Journey to Citizenship”, and nobody is required to know more than what is in that book, it is most likely that the question about minimum smoking age will be removed until the new edition of the manual comes out, where this change will be reflected.
Note that this change does not affect Northern Ireland.
