Paragraph 2
The
smoking ban was a landmark
that prompted other countries to reconsider their public health
. The British government followed
by announcing laws that will make it illegal for
to buy cigarettes over the coming years. A spokesperson said the UK wants "to deliver smoke-free generations". Canada has recently become the first country to require health warnings be put on
cigarettes. Anti-tobacco groups are up in
over Mr Luxon's about-turn. One group said: "Turning the
on harmful products that are entrenched in
cannot be done by individuals or even communities. It takes good and
population-level policies."
