The Maldives has made history by becoming the first country in the world to impose a generational ban on smoking, outlawing tobacco use for anyone born after January 1, 2007. This bold initiative, which includes a prohibition on e-cigarettes, aims to promote public health and reduce tobacco-related harm. The law applies not only to residents but also to tourists visiting the island nation. Anyone born after this date will be permanently banned from purchasing or using any tobacco products, marking a significant step towards a smoke-free future.
