Therefore, the New Zealand government plans to impose a complete ban on young people buying cigarettes. Accordingly, it is proposed to completely ban the purchase of cigarettes by the younger generation, boys under the age of 14, by 2027.
In addition, various programs have been proposed to reduce the number of vendors selling tobacco products and to reduce nicotine levels in all products.
Aisha Verre, New Zealand’s Minister of Health, has said she plans to create a situation where the younger generation will no longer smoke cigarettes and that selling tobacco products to young people is a crime under the law.
