Anger over New Zealand’s U-turn on smoking ban: Health experts say they are ‘appalled’ by ‘purely political’ move – as Rishi Sunak vows to press ahead with law to stop kids aged 14 now from ever buying cigarettes

admin

Plans by New Zealand’s new government to ditch its world-first smoking ban were today attacked by health experts. 

The move, to stop children from taking up the habit, was initially introduced by ex-Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern in 2022. Once implemented next year, anyone born after 2008 would have been banned from ever buying cigarettes.

New Zealand’s new prime minister, Christopher Luxon, said the U-turn would fund tax cuts.

But public health experts said the reversal was ‘extremely concerning’, warning the

admin

Here I am, living the dream, sitting in the back of a taxi heading along Missouri Avenue in Phoenix, Arizona. It is another hot morning out here in the desert, with the temperature already nudging 100 degrees, even though it is not yet 10am.
