The Maldives this month barred individuals born after 2006 from smoking or buying tobacco merchandise within the nation, making the archipelago the primary nation to implement such a legislation.
“People born on or after 1 January 2007 are prohibited from buying, utilizing, or being bought tobacco merchandise inside the Maldives,” the nation’s well being ministry mentioned Saturday. The brand new legislation, ushered in by President Mohamed Muizzu, leaves those that had been born in 2006 or earlier free to smoke.
