Permission to buy tobacco to be raised from 18 to 21 years.
Cead tobac a cheannach le hardú ó 18 go 21 bliain.
The age at which people can buy cigarettes and other tobacco products is to be raised from eighteen to 21, according to new legislation to be proposed to the Cabinet this week by Health Minister Stephen Donnelly.
Tá an aois ag ar féidir le daoine toitíní agus táirgí eile tobac a cheannach le hardú ó ocht mbliana déag go 21 bliain, de réir reachtaíocht nua atá le moladh don Chomhaireacht an tseachtain seo ag an Aire Sláinte Stephen Donnelly.
For people who are currently between the ages of eighteen and 21, the bill will be drafted in such a way that they will still be allowed to buy tobacco.
Maidir le daoine atá idir ocht mbliana déag agus 21 faoi láthair, dréachtófar an bille sa chaoi is go mbeidh cead acusan tobac a cheannach go fóill.
Minister Donnelly said that the legislation is really aimed at young people between the ages of fifteen and seventeen.
Dúirt an tAire Donnelly gur ar dhaoine óga idir chúig bliana déag agus seacht mbliana déag atá an reachtaíocht dírithe i ndáiríre.
It's easy for people in that age group to buy tobacco at the moment, he said, but if the minimum age is raised to 21 it will make them a lot of trouble.
Is furasta do dhaoine san aoisghrúpa sin tobac a cheannach faoi láthair, arsa sé, ach má ardófar an aois íosta go 21 déanfaidh sé ciotaí an-mhór dóibh.
A report from the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland states that more than any other time people take their first puff of tobacco between the ages of fifteen and seventeen.
Deirtear i dtuarascáil ó Choláiste Ríoga Lianna na hÉireann gur idir chúig bliana déag agus seacht mbliana déag thar aon am eile is mó a bhaineann daoine an chéad gal tástála as tobac.
If the minimum age were raised to 21, the number of teenagers who smoke could be reduced by 25%, according to the authors of the report.
Dá n-ardófaí an aois íosta go 21 d'fhéadfaí an líon déagóirí a chaitheann tobac a laghdú 25 faoin gcéad , dar le húdair na tuarascála.
It is estimated that around 4,500 people die in the State every year due to smoking.
Áirítear go bhfaigheann thart ar 4,500 duine bás sa Stát gach bliain mar gheall ar thobac a chaitheamh.
They are most affected by heart disease, lung disease and cancer.
Galar croí, galar scamhóg agus ailse is mó a bhaineann dóibh.
As well as raising the minimum age, the sale of tobacco products and vaping products from machines in commercial premises is to be banned.
Chomh maith leis an aois íosta a ardú, táthar le cosc a chur ar tháirgí tobac agus ar tháirgí vápála a dhíol ó mheaisíní in áitribh thráchtála.
The Government also intends to ban disposable vaping cigarettes and place restrictions on the advertising of vaping products.
Tá rún ag an Rialtas freisin cosc a chur ar ghaltoitíní aon uaire agus srianta a chur ar an gcaoi a bhfógraítear táirgí vápála.
