Answer: New Zealand
Notes: New Zealand is repealing its law that would have banned tobacco sales for future generations. The law was intended to prohibit individuals born after January 1, 2009, from purchasing cigarettes for their entire lives. Researchers and campaigners have warned of the risk that people could die as a result. Janet Hoek, a researcher at Otago University, stated that the repeal contradicts robust research evidence, disregards measures strongly advocated by Maori leaders and will perpetuate health inequities.
