New Zealand: New Zealand is going to ban the purchase of cigarettes and other tobacco products to keep the next generation away from smoking.
According to the BBC, New Zealand is set to enact a law next year that would bar anyone born after 2008 from buying cigarettes or tobacco products in their lifetime.
According to reports, the decision is part of a crackdown on smoking announced by the New Zealand Ministry of Health on Thursday.
"We want to make sure that young people never start smoking," said New Zealand Health Minister Dr Ayesha Varal.
Doctors and other health professionals in New Zealand have welcomed global reforms.
According to reports, some people say that this is a good move because many young people are addicted to smoking at this time, but others have emphasized that this decision could promote the black market of tobacco.
