New Zealand is reportedly taking aggressive steps to eradicate cigarette use in future generations. According to the BBC, the country’s government is planning to enact a law in 2022 that would phase in an eventual ban on smoking for all young adults.
Here’s how it would work, according to the Washington Post: Starting in 2027 and every year thereafter, NZ will raise the minimum age for cigarette purchases by one year. Currently, that age threshold is 18. If the plan takes effect, it would mean everyone born in 2009 or later will never be legally able to purchase cigarettes in New Zealand in their lifetimes.
‘We want to make sure young people never start smoking,’ NZ Associate Health Minister Dr. Ayesha Verrall said to the BBC.
Approximately 10% of New Zealand adults are currently smokers, per WaPo.
This is what we're doing now? Fair call

Very happy as long as I don't dwell on how bad things are getting.

The Oklahoma panhandle was once part of Texas.
When Texas entered the union they ceded the narrow strip to the US government. It’s north of the 36 30 parallel. That was the northern limit of slavery after the Missouri compromise.
In 1885 the Supreme Court decided it was not Indian land. It nearly became part of Kanas during the Cleveland administration but otherwise was an autonomous strip of land until being added to Oklahoma when it joined the union in 1905.
And now you know…the rest of the story (allusion a few will get).
