Under the UK government’s proposed legislation, anyone aged 14 or under will never be able to legally buy cigarettes or any other tobacco product. The idea is to prevent future generations from smoking, as nine in 10 people say they started the habit before the age of 21, according to data from Cancer Research. The proposed law will not criminalise the act of buying tobacco and won’t prevent anyone currently older than 14 from being sold tobacco in future.
根据英国政府拟议的立法，任何14岁或以下的人都无法合法购买香烟或任何其他烟草制品。这个想法是为了防止子孙后代吸烟，因为根据癌症研究的数据，十分之九的人说他们在 21 岁之前就开始吸烟。拟议的法律不会将购买烟草的行为定为刑事犯罪，也不会阻止目前超过14岁的任何人将来购买烟草。

New Zealand’s previous government wanted to have a sweeping crackdown on smoking, passing a law which meant anyone born after 2008 would not be able to buy cigarettes or tobacco products in their lifetime. They also restricted where tobacco could be sold and reduced the level of nicotine (the addictive drug) in cigarettes. But, the new government (voted in from October 2023) are moving to repeal the law, saying it would help fund tax cuts.
新西兰上届政府希望对吸烟进行全面打击，通过了一项法律，这意味着2008年之后出生的任何人都无法在其一生中购买香烟或烟草制品。他们还限制了烟草的销售地点，并降低了香烟中尼古丁（成瘾药物）的含量。但是，新政府（从 2023 年 10 月开始投票）正在采取行动废除该法律，称这将有助于为减税提供资金。
