From Midday Report, 12:43 pm on 9 December 2021

The government intends to ban cigarette sales as part of its Smokefree 2025 plan.

It's hoped to become law by late next year -- with a transition period to make smoked tobacco products less appealing and addictive before they're outlawed completely.
