Explanation

In December 2022, New Zealand passed the Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products (Smoked Tobacco) Amendment Bill. This landmark legislation was a key part of the Smokefree Aotearoa 2025 action plan, which set the goal for the country to be effectively "smoke-free" (defined as a smoking prevalence of less than 5%) by the year 2025.

The law introduced a lifetime ban on cigarette sales to anyone born on or after January 1, 2009, mandated lower nicotine levels, and drastically reduced the number of tobacco retailers. While the new coalition government in New Zealand moved to repeal these specific generational ban measures in early 2024 to fund tax cuts, the 2025 target was the official goal established under the 2022 legislation and the preceding national strategy.
