Closed Prohibit the sale of over the counter drugs to under 18s

Closed on

At present it is too easy for under 18s to buy over the counter drugs, which can be extremely harmful if taken improperly.

The Government should prohibit the sale of all over the counter drugs to under 18s.

NOW more than ever the law needs changing.

We have age ratings on cigarettes, Alcohol, solvents, razors etc.

Why do we not have an age rating for over the counter DRUGS, no matter who sells them?

It's time to make a change.
