New Zealand considering ban on smoking for people born post 2004

Apr 16 2021

New Zealand is considering a ban on cigarettes for anyone born after 2004 in a new proposal to stub out smoking. The country aims to push towards becoming smoke-free by 2025. The ban would essentially make it illegal for younger generations to buy tobacco, with the legal age increasing incrementally.

Other proposals could see a prohibition of filters, minimum pricing, limits on where smoking products can be bought and even a reduction in the level of nicotine permitted in tobacco products. The plans have been backed by public health organisations, including New Zealand’s Cancer Society.
