The world’s first country, completely free from tobacco, decided to become New Zealand. This will happen until 2025. Now they smoke about 10% of citizens over 15 years old daily, reports “World 24”.
Most of all smokers among the Aborigines of the Archipelago, the people of Maori – almost 40%. The government will gradually increase the age from which you can smoke, and limits the number of segments of cigarettes. Nicotine level in tobacco products will be extremely low.
