The Maldives just made history 🌴🚭
It’s now the first country in the world to introduce a generational smoking ban, making it illegal for anyone born on or after January 1, 2007 to buy, use, or sell tobacco.
The health ministry says the move shows a strong commitment to protecting young people from the dangers of smoking. This comes after the country fully banned vaping last year, blocking the import, sale, and use of e-cigarettes at any age.
Retailers will now need to verify age before selling tobacco, and the rule applies to tourists too 👀
