Think & Discuss
Generational Bans: Is Prohibition by Birth Year the Future of Public Health?
Context from today’s quiz: The Maldives has implemented a groundbreaking policy banning anyone born on or after January 1, 2007 from ever buying or using tobacco and e-cigarettes. This “generational ban” approach differs from traditional prohibition by gradually phasing out tobacco use over decades rather than imposing immediate blanket bans.
πŸ€” Your Perspective Matters
New Zealand pioneered this concept before political changes reversed it. The Maldives now carries the torch. Unlike outright bans that create black markets, generational restrictions aim to eliminate demand naturally as older smokers age out while younger generations never start.

Should India consider a generational tobacco ban, or are education and taxation more effective tools for a country with 267 million tobacco users?
  • How would a generational ban impact India’s beedi and tobacco farming communities that depend on the industry?
  • Is it ethical to restrict personal choices based on birth year, even for proven health hazards?
  • Could such policies be applied to other public health challenges like ultra-processed foods or alcohol?
