News about Jacinda Ardern

REEM IBRAHIM: Rishi Sunak - the architect of Britain's hotly-contested policy - said the goal was to prevent tomorrow's children from taking up cigarettes, effectively creating a 'smoke-free' generation that kills off the tobacco industry for good. But how on earth does he plan on enforcing it? Even the world's biggest nanny state, New Zealand, had to bin the very same proposal. Ironically, many younger Brits will likely keep smoking but without having to pay the levies associated with covering the costs to the NHS. The generational tobacco ban is often framed around preventing children from taking up cigarettes. But this, of course, is already illegal. In practice, it's really about preventing future adults from making decisions about their own bodies.

But after her predecessor lost the election, New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, the head of a newly elected Conservative coalition government, has confirmed plans to officially withdraw it next week. MPs have been encouraged to abandon UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's call to bring in England's own generational smoking ban. The Institute of Economic Affairs' Christopher Snowdon, head of lifestyle economics, said that it revealed how foolish the UK's search for a similar ban was.
