Today is your day Boomer! I read with interest an article from New Zealand today which indicates a new progressive anti-smoking law. It states that young Kiwis born after 2009 will be banned from legally smoking and New Zealand wants to be totally smoke-free by 2025. Wow! How does this compare to Canada? Well, check out the graph and you can see that smoking here has dropped from 25% to 10% in the past two decades.....and certainly, Boomers are a big part of a new focus on having a healthy and fit lifestyle. But...we only have restrictions on youth smoking; for example, store sales to young people have been banned in many provinces. If you want to light-up, generally you can in Canada. And here is the other disturbing fact in both Canada and New Zealand; while smoking is down, vaping is increasing especially in youth ages. I just had heart surgery; all I know is that both are bad for you. Cig for thought, Boomers. Cheers.
