Poll: Would you support a total ban on smoking?
The Government is moving to make it much harder to buy cigarettes. People born after 2009 could become New Zealand’s first-ever smokefree generation, in a policy move that is expected to bring $5 billion in health savings.
On Thursday, Associate Health Minister Ayesha Verrall announced a radical and world-leading plan to ban tobacco sales to a generation, as well as lower the nicotine level in all tobacco products and drastically reduce number of places that can sell them, through the new Smokefree 2025 action plan.
