Re: [新聞] 紐西蘭的下一個世代起，將「終生禁菸」

※ 引述《Aotearoa (長白雲之鄉)》之銘言： : 重點翻譯：紐西蘭政府預計在2022年提出， : 立法後，在2027年開始施行的法律， : 從2027年起，14歲以下的所有國民， : 將「一生」被禁止購買香菸或菸草製品。 : 健康部長 Ayesha Verrall 表示： : 「我們要確保年輕人們不會嘗試開始抽菸。」 : 目前紐西蘭的成人抽菸率大約 13％，十年前則是 18％。 : 原文： : New Zealand will ban the sale of tobacco to its next generation, in a bid to : eventually phase out smoking. : Anyone born after 2008 will not be able to buy cigarettes or tobacco product s : in their lifetime, under a law expected to be enacted next year. : "We want to make sure young people never start smoking," Health Minister Dr : Ayesha Verall said. : The move is part of a sweeping crackdown on smoking announced by New : Zealand's health ministry on Thursday. : Doctors and other health experts in the country have welcomed the : "world-leading" reforms which will reduce access to tobacco and restrict : nicotine levels in cigarettes. : "It will help people quit or switch to less harmful products, and make it : much less likely that young people get addicted to nicotine," said Prof Jane t : Hook from the University of Otago. : New Zealand is determined to achieve a national goal of reducing its nationa l : smoking rate to 5% by 2025, with the aim of eventually eliminating it : altogether. : Currently, about 13% of New Zealand adults smoke, down from 18% about a : decade ago. But the rate is much higher - about 31%- among the indigenous : Maori population who also suffer a higher rate of disease and death. : New Zealand's health ministry says smoking causes one in four cancers and : remains the leading cause of preventable death for its five million strong : population. The industry has been the target of legislators for more than a : decade now. : As part of the crackdown announced on Thursday, the government also : introduced major tobacco controls, including significantly restricting where : cigarettes can be sold to remove them from supermarkets and corner stores. : The number of shops authorised to sell cigarettes will be drastically reduce d : to under 500 from about 8,000 now, officials say. : In recent years, vaping - smoking e-cigarettes which produce a vapour that : also delivers nicotine - has become far more popular among younger : generations than cigarettes. : New Zealand health authorities warn however, that vaping is not harmless. : Researchers have found hazardous, cancer-causing agents in e-cigarette : liquids as well. : But in 2017 the country adopted vaping as a pathway to help smokers quit : tobacco. 這只解決了表面問題而已，但更深的問題還是無解，甚至有可能產生更多問題 好，你說未來世代將終生沒有機會合法買菸 那他不會請可以合法買菸的人幫他買不就好了？ 了不起他不要在外面抽，在家裡抽，請問這要怎麼抓？難不成紐西蘭警方要為了這個戒嚴 嗎？ 再來，未來世代終生不能買菸，但旁邊卻有可以合法買菸的人，這會導致想嘗試抽煙的人 會不平衡覺得「憑什麼為什麼我不能合法買菸，年紀大我很多的人就可以？」 未來世代的人就會誕生所謂的地下私菸，跟毒品一樣的在交易 所以問題真的解決了嗎？沒有。 大家看到是先進國家推的政策就高潮了 先進國家也是會有天真的政策好嗎 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 101.12.101.153 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Gossiping/M.1639297488.A.81A.html
