Ban the sale of energy drinks to under 16s

Closed 41 signatures

What the petition asks

Change the law on energy drinks to ban them being sold to under 16s. Consuming these drinks can have an adverse impact on children's physical and mental health.
It is important we protect our children. I have witnessed children as young as 10 buying energy drinks that contain addictive ingredients.
