New Zealand bans tobacco sales for next generation

New Zealand has ban sales of tobacco products, and it’s hoping that other countries will follow suit. On Tuesday, New Zealand’s parliament passed legislation that bans the sale of cigarettes, rolling tobacco and other forms of tobacco to anyone born after January 1st 2019. The new law means that the only people who will be able to legally buy cigarettes in New Zealand are those who are of age. In addition, it outlaws smoking in cars or outdoor spaces where children could see it—like playgrounds or swimming pools—and increases fines for people caught lighting up on public transportation vehicles like buses and trains.

New Zealand’s parliament has passed legislation banning the sale of tobacco products to anyone born after January 1, 2019

The law states that it is illegal to sell cigarettes or smokeless tobacco products in New Zealand and that this will be enforced by fines or imprisonment for retailers found selling tobacco products to minors or adults without consent.

It also includes provisions banning the sale of e-cigarettes, vaporisers and other nicotine-containing products such as patches or gum under an age restriction policy. This means no one under 18 can buy these items from stores or online unless they have parental consent – a move that was widely supported by health experts across the country because it would reduce youth smoking rates significantly in future years (and hopefully save lives).

The new law means that the only people who will be able to legally buy cigarettes in New Zealand are those who are of age, or have an appropriate license for purchasing tobacco products (e.g., a permit).

Tobacco is responsible for more than 5000 deaths in New Zealand each year, according to government figures, a number that it aims to reduce to zero by 2025.

The government has set a target of reducing the number of deaths caused by tobacco use to zero by 2025. Tobacco is responsible for more than 5000 deaths in New Zealand each year, according to government figures, a number that it aims to reduce to zero by 2025.

New Zealand’s Chief Medical Officer, Professor Paul Girolamo said “(Tobacco) is a known risk factor for cancer and other cancers, coronary heart disease and stroke; it also causes chronic lung disease”.

Smoking among minors is already prohibited, but the new law eliminates a loophole where young people could previously purchase tobacco with a fake ID.

The law is designed to make it harder for young people to buy cigarettes, preventing them from purchasing tobacco products from shops or other retailers.

The New Zealand government has passed an amendment to its Smokefree Environments Act which will mean that anyone under 18 years old can no longer get hold of cigarettes in any circumstances. The ban does not apply if you are over 18 and have a doctor’s note saying you need them for medical reasons, but that’s about as much leeway as you’re going to get.

Around 14% of New Zealanders smoke, a figure that has declined significantly since 1990.

Smoking rates have dropped significantly in the last 20 years, but smoking remains a major health problem for New Zealanders. Around 14% of adults smoke, a figure that has declined significantly since 1990.

The highest rates are among Maori and Pacific Island communities at over 30%. Young people are also overrepresented among smokers—for every 10 students who start smoking in Year 13 at school, one will go on to become a regular smoker by the age of 21. In addition to being young and poor, those who live in rural areas or along the major north-south road corridors (such as Auckland) often have higher levels of exposure due to their proximity to tobacco farms or manufacturing plants.

New Zealand wants to become the first smoke-free country in the world

New Zealand wants to become the first smoke-free country in the world. The country is taking a big step in that direction by banning tobacco sales for the next generation, according to a report from Reuters.

The government will ban all tobacco products by 2040 and has already imposed a ban on advertising since 2009.

Conclusion

New Zealand has made history by becoming the first country in the world to ban the sale of tobacco products to anyone born after January 1, 2019. The law will also affect stockists and manufacturers.
