Maldives Bans Tobacco for New Generation

The Maldives has implemented a groundbreaking generational smoking ban, prohibiting those born after January 1, 2007, from purchasing or selling tobacco products. This law, effective since November 1, covers all tobacco types and imposes hefty fines for non-compliance. The move aligns with a global trend, as Belgium recently announced stricter smoking and vaping restrictions. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city.
