A man vapes in a street in Auckland, New Zealand, on Dec. 9, 2021. New Zealand on Tuesday passed into law a unique plan to phase out tobacco smoking by imposing a lifetime ban on young people buying cigarettes.

Packs of Marlboro cigarettes are displayed for sale at a convenience store in Somerville, Massachusetts, on July 17, 2014. The law does not affect vaping, which has already become more popular than smoking in New Zealand.
Statistics New Zealand reported last month that 8% of New Zealand adults smoked daily, down from 16% 10 years ago. Meanwhile, 8.3% of adults vaped daily, up from less than 1% six years ago.
