Abstract
In April 2021 the New Zealand (NZ) government published a discussion document with a proposed action plan for Smokefree 2025. The sponsor is Associate Minister Dr Ayesha Verrall, a physician and newly elected member of Parliament.
The NZ government’s commitment to a smokefree goal in 2011 was a response to a recommendation from the Māori Affairs Select Committee of the NZ Parliament. It followed sustained advocacy by Māori (the Indigenous peoples) leaders for the ‘Tupeka Kore’ goal for the elimination of tobacco products, which were introduced to Māori by colonisation, from NZ
