Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
Most New Zealanders think the tobacco industry is influencing government policy.
A Talbot Mills survey —commissioned by public health group Health Coalition Aotearoa— has found more than two thirds of respondents think the industry is influencing policy.
55% of respondents support reintroducing low-nicotine cigarettes.
Health Coalition Aotearoa Spokesperson Chris Bullen told Ryan Bridge that while all industries want policies oriented towards them, the tobacco industry has a long history, all around the world, of behaving in particularly bad ways.
