An end to cigarettes? New Zealand aims to create smoke-free generation

New Zealand has a plan to make the country smoke-free by 2025 because it's a problem there and about 4500 citizens die of it every year. The plan is to increase the legal smoking age, reduce the nicotine in tobacco products, prohibit filters, set a minimum price for tobacco and limit the places where it can be sold. The strongest of the proposals is to make smoking illegal for people born after 2004. Some people and healthcare officials say it's a good idea to finally put the end to this problem, but some express the opinion it won't work because people wiil just buy it more and illegally to show they don't agree with the idea. I think that it's an intresting thing. It's probable that it won't work at all, but I think it's worth giving a try since it rather wouldn't make the smoking problem worse and could be a start of its fall in the world. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/apr/16/new-zealand-aims-to-create-smoke-free-generation-cigarettes
