New Zealand did this ages ago and, in a plot twist move, they overturned it recently.
Hopefully the Maldives follows suit. Imagine not being able to have a drunk cigarette for your 30th birthday.
tbh this feels like 5D chess with climate change. Not saying it’s a bad move for Maldives, but sorta feels like they’re hostage to their geography.
Nah wont ever work. Folks want to do what they want. Stop restricting that.

People should have free choice,might as well ban fast food and alcohol and make gym membership compulsory
Good. Let’s hope they stick to it.
We badly need this in the UK, every public space people just vape or smoke, such a disgusting habit. Should only be allowed to do this at home.
If they tried to ban smoking in Vietnam, wow, that’d cause conflict.
Should be world wide… should have happened 40 years ago.
Hey… here’s this product that deliberately addicted you to it. The upsides? NONE. All it does is damage your body and vastly increase your risk of heart attack and lung/throat cancer.
Even that feeling of „relaxation“ you feel from it… is quite literally you feeding the addiction. Your nerves were shot from the lack of nicotine. So even the supposed calming is really just you getting a fix. Solving a „problem“ the cigarette created in the first place.
It’s ridiculous. We’ve banned far less dangerous things for even weaker reasons.
Time and time again it has been proven that prohibition doesn’t work, yet they still continue to try it.
That’s dumb, on multiple levels, and I’m writing with one finger, on my phone.
The list of interdictions should be mindfully crafted, ALWAYS having the long time interest in sight. Blanket restrictions of anything only creates underground uses of the banned thing, with all the bad or catastrophic consequences.
If Americans only prohibited distilled alcohol in the ’20ies of last century, PROHIBITION WOULD HAVE SUCCEEDED, and most likely changed alcohol consumption from hard liquor (thought out to make you stupid in the shortest of time) to a healthy habit of drinking wine or cider (because I’d forbid beer too).
Smoking doesn’t make you stupid or anti-social, it actually makes you more productive and helps you concentrate (kinda like coffee). If you’re strong and healthy, smoking doesn’t kill you, but if you’re weak and sickly, smoking acts like a sanitary agent, eliminating you and unburdening social security and healthcare systems (because 6 months of lung cancer is way less costly than 20 years of pumping 20pills cocktails a day.
Society would only benefit by making smoking affordable (low taxes) and taxing marijuana 90%, with a blanket ban on ALL synthetic drugs.
i hope it fails
Germany increased the tax on cigarettes years ago in an effort to discourage use and create revenue for health programs. Soon thereafter, they reversed the policy because revenues dropped too much.
