What the petition asks
Take inspiration from New Zealand to enact a ban for anyone born after 2004 from being able to purchase tobacco for the rest of their lives. This law is expected to be enacted in New Zealand next year.
It is time we prioritise health over wealth, and protect the younger generations from a massive risk factor to health. It is essential to prevent younger generations from falling prey to smoking, so that they can live healthier and happier lives.
