Which TWO of the following are examples of criminal offences?

Correct Answers: Selling tobacco to anyone under the age of 18; Smoking in public places

The two criminal offences are:

Selling tobacco to anyone under the age of 18 — this is a criminal offence in the UK. The legal age for purchasing tobacco products is 18, and selling to those younger is a criminal matter enforced by Trading Standards
Smoking in public places — it is a criminal offence to smoke in enclosed public places and workplaces in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland under the Health Act 2006 and equivalent legislation

The other options — unfair dismissal/workplace discrimination and disputes about faulty goods — are civil matters dealt with by employment tribunals and civil courts respectively.
