Solution

New Zealand's Bill on Tobacco Endgame: Tobacco Endgame refers to a policy approach that focuses on ending the Tobacco Epidemic, aiming at ‘tobacco-free future’. If implemented, it will be the world-first legislation that will stop the next generation from ever being able to legally buy cigarettes. Status of Tobacco Use in India: According to the National Family Health Survey, tobacco usage is greater among men and women in rural areas than in urban areas. According to the National Family Health Survey 5 (2019-21), 38% of males and 9% of females over 15 use tobacco products. Tobacco endgames are basically intended to drastically reduce nicotine content in tobacco so it can no longer be addictive (known as “denicotinisation” or “very low nicotine cigarettes” (VLNC)). India is the second largest consumer and producer of tobacco.
