Maltese TikTok photographer Sean Azzopardi has challenged himself to take to the streets and capture photos of real people around Malta and Gozo.

Relying solely on the tools provided by mother nature such as sunlight and surroundings, the local photographer meets with people from all walks of life and captures a few portraits, posting the process on social media.

New Zealand bans tobacco sales to anyone born after 2008

Dec 14 2022

On Tuesday, New Zealand parliament has passed a legislation which will effectively ban anyone born after 2008 from buying tobacco products.

The legislation was passed in a bid to shrink tobacco use each year, with Health Minister Ayesha Verrall calling the decision a step towards a “smoke-free future”.

The new law essentially means that by 2050, 40-year-olds in New Zealand will be too young to purchase tobacco.

“Thousands of people will live longer, healthier lives and the health system will be NZ$5 billion (US$3.2 billion) better off from not needing to treat the illnesses caused by smoking,” the Minister stated.

Meanwhile, the amount of retailers licensed to sell cigarettes and tobacco products will drop from 6,000 to 600 by the end of 2023.

Breaching the ban will be punishable with fins of up to NZ$150,000, amounting to almost €91,000.
