Tobacco Control and Smokingwww.moh.govt.nz/tobacco
The Ministry of Health has traditionally been the key agency for policy development in the tobacco control area and is involved in a large number of policy, service development and operational aspects of tobacco control.
 The Ministry continually strives to ensure that its tobacco control activities are compatible with the international best practice in tobacco control as well as with its obligations under the World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC).
Other government agencies that also play roles in tobacco control include Treasury, Education, Customs and Youth Development.
The three key objectives of tobacco control activities in New Zealand are:
- To reduce smoking initiation
- To increase quitting
- To reduce exposure to second-hand smoke.
