From next year, New Zealand will implement a near-total tobacco ban.

According to the BBC, a law passed by the country’s parliament on Tuesday states that anyone born after 2008 will be unable to purchase cigarettes or tobacco products.

As a result, the number of people who can afford to buy tobacco is decreasing year after year.

New Zealand’s Minister Health Dr. Ayesha Verrall, who introduced the bill, said it was a step “towards a smoke-free future”.

She went on to say that the bill was intended to reduce the number of retailers allowed to sell smoked tobacco products to 600 nationwide, down from 6,000 currently, and to lower nicotine levels in products to make them less addictive.

Thousands of people in the country will live longer and healthier lives, according to the Health Minister.
