Usually it's the Americans who think they're the entire world, calling them out on it sometimes feels like I'm just targeting them. But this is a good example of the same thing from a different country, and I'm pointing it out in fairness :-P
The country the article is about should be in the title, because otherwise it's just confusing clickbait. Without actually tapping the thumbnail and seeing what comes up, just going from the title, how do I know if this news is about the UK, or what?
How we share news must be informative from the get go. Sharing world news is vital, keeping abreast of the important goings on around the globe, but we need up front context provided to at least narrow it down by country.
Anyway, this is good news! Electronic cigarettes should never be sold to kids, that's wild :-(
It's a link to the Irish Times, an Irish newspaper, so this is Ireland (not the UK).
OP could have added that bit when posting it, but I can't really blame the newspaper for not including it in their headline. Their core audience knows that they're speaking about Ireland unless it's stated otherwise.
