Switzerland: Ban the sale of energy drinks to the under 16 yo.

The Issue

Despite the research highlighting the dangers linked to the consumption by children of energy drinks (high caffeine soft drinks) there is no age limit in Switzerland. School age children are free to obtain such drinks from any of the retailers and the process are so low they are of course very attractive for children eager to appear "cool" to their peers. As the consumption of energy drinks had been linked to the later consumption of addictive substances it is crucial to protect children and their future by implementing an age limit.

Please make it illegal for under 16 to purchase energy drinks/high caffeine soft drinks.
