New Zealand doesn’t want the next generation to start life under a cloud.
The nation’s lawmakers have introduced a package of proposals that aim to eliminate cigarette use by 2025, first, by targeting those born after 2004. If passed, residents currently aged 24 years or younger would become New Zealand’s first entirely smoke-free generation, the Guardian reports, clearing the way to snuffing out cigarettes for good.
