"Rishi Sunak's Progressive Approach: UK's Smoking Ban and Vaping Lessons from New Zealand"

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has announced plans to gradually ban smoking by raising the legal age to buy cigarettes by one year, every year. Sunak believes this measure will save more lives than any other decision the government could make. The proposal, which allows Conservative MPs a free vote, aims to prevent teenagers from taking up smoking. The Labour Party has previously expressed support for a similar phased ban. Sunak also mentioned potential restrictions on vaping, including flavors, packaging, point-of-sale displays, and disposable vapes.
