Rejected petition Sale of drugs to under 16

More details

I want new legislation to be put in place preventing the sale of paracetamols and other drugs being sold to children under the age of 16.
At the moment they can go in to any supermarket and buy 2 packets of 16 - more than enough to do serious damage.
And also young children are also taking excessive laxatives to lose wait which will also cause lots of health problems .
suicides and attempted suicides of children are on the increase and we need to act now to protect them.
So please help by signing now.
Please sign and share
Thank you
