New Zealand has passed a bill to ban those aged 14 and under from ever legally buying cigarettes in an effort to make the country smoke free by 2025.
That’s the gist of the law, for the curious. It established a cap on the year the person was born in order to consume tobacco. The rationale is that of you’ve never smoked, you won’t miss it, so in a couple generations the country goes smoke free.
Smokers unaffected by the ban are up in arms for some reason? Can someone explain why would they care?
