Talk:Smoking in New Zealand

Reference 8 was invalid. Anyone have a new link for the NZ Cancer Society regrading children being less likely to smoke? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmcl404 (talk • contribs) 04:15, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

So far?

Noticed the claim in the article in regards to not displaying tobacco products in shops "but it has so far done little to curb sales." Which appears flawed on a few levels, firstly and most obviously the two cites are outdated and will become moreso rapidly, one was merely two months from the enactment of the ban, the other five months, both far to soon to be indicative or significant of anything. Also neither appears based on any hard data but merely on asking some dairy owners. The claim also begs the question by implying through the use of 'but' that this immediate curbing of sales was the intended or expected goal of the legislation. Rather than, as one article notes, in large part a long term goal to discourage and reduce uptake by youth. Also, I'm not sure why the fact about tobacco displays in shops being banned from July 2012 is under the section heading of 'lobbying', rather than in the legislation section.121.75.149.92 (talk) 22:00, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

NZ-wide Smokefree Prisons

Monumental omission of the significant NZ achievement of ban on smoking in all NZ Prisons. This is huge! I am not a Wikipedian, although we donate to support. Can someone please rectify this? https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/smoke-free-prisons-success-one-year 150.107.174.114 (talk) 00:09, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
