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.

I can’t believe that we have to wait for a new edition of the manual to have these kinds of changes reflected. How are we going to pass the test if we don’t have manuals updated more often? Is there any way to study for the exam without leaving aside these kinds of issues with information not being updated?

Billy…there is plenty of info online for you to practice online and most of them have all the latest updates. You’ll be fine, don’t worry
