New Zealand could lead the
world!
The Cancer Society congratulates the Government on its forward thinking when considering the recommendations made following the Maori Affairs Select Committee’s Inquiry on the tobacco industry in New Zealand and the consequences of tobacco use for Maori.
The Government has considered many of the 48 recommendations contained in the report, the most controversial being the goal of supporting New Zealand to become a smoke-free nation by 2025.
“The Government made tremendous headway when late last year it banned powerwall displays of tobacco, by a date yet to be announced. Now New Zealand could lead the world by committing to a Smokefree country by 2025,” said Dalton Kelly, Chief Executive of the Cancer Society. “We couldn’t be more delighted.”
