Clearing the Smoke

A five-year plan for tobacco control in New Zealand (2004-2009)

Date of publication: Sep 2004

Clearing the Smoke: A five-year plan for tobacco control in New Zealand 2004-2009 represents another milestone in the progress towards minimising the harm from tobacco in this country.

It has four goals that support the best-practice strands of a comprehensive tobacco programme namely to:
  • significantly reduce levels of tobacco consumption and smoking prevalence
  • reduce inequalities in health outcomes
  • reduce Maori smoking prevalence to at least the same level as non-Māori
  • reduce exposure to second-hand smoke for all New Zealanders.
