New Zealand will ban young people from ever being able to buy cigarettes as part of an initiative to make the country entirely smoke-free by 2025.
New Zealand on Thursday announced plans to prevent young people from ever being able to buy cigarettes as part of an initiative to make the country entirely smoke-free by 2025.
Health officials and campaign groups have welcomed the move, recognizing the proposed reforms as one of the world's toughest crackdowns on the tobacco industry. Verrall said smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in New Zealand and causes one in four cancers in its population of roughly 5 million. The health ministry said smoking-related harm was particularly prevalent in Maori, Pacific and low-income communities.The government's smoke-free goal, first introduced in 2011, is to ensure that the national smoking rate is reduced to less than 5% by 2025 — before eventually eliminating smoking altogether.
