"New Zealand considered, then dropped the idea and the United Kingdom might
soon run with it, but as of this week the Maldives beat them both to the punch.
The island nation just became the first in the world to institute a
generational tobacco ban, which prohibits young people born on or after January
1, 2007, from smoking, buying, or selling tobacco.
It’s the latest development in a two-decade global push toward a “tobacco
endgame” meant to disappear the product entirely.
A smoke-free world would certainly be a much healthier version of the one we
live in now. If you had to choose a single public health concern that affects
the most people, you’d be right to focus on tobacco. Only air pollution and
high blood pressure kill more"
