The Maldives has banned anyone born on or after January 1, 2007, from buying, using, or selling tobacco. The health ministry says the ban "applies to all forms of tobacco, and retailers are required to verify age prior to sale." A tobacco control official cited previous action against vaping as a first step. He noted tourists must follow the rules but said he does not expect the law to hurt tourism.
