The “End game for tobacco”
in
Aotearoa/New Zealand
Putting tobacco on notice
• New Zealand is putting tobacco on notice.
• The countdown….
“To make New Zealand a country free
from smoking in 10 years and ultimately
free from tobacco.”
…has begun!
Our vision
“Aotearoa/New Zealand – where
tobacco has no place in our children’s
future!”
The goal
• Smokefree/Auahi Kore
within ten years and then
tobacco Free/Tupeka Kore
through community action
(e.g. Tupeka Kore Marae).
Our vision comprises
• The goal
• Broad guidelines for the process
• The arenas in which we will work.
How do we get there
• Our Vision serves as a
switch board
• The issues can plug
into the vision as and
when appropriate
• The experts in each
discipline can plan their
activities to fit in with
the “countdown”
End Game?
• How do we get to the end game when the
clock stops ticking?
• Include all who want to “plug in to the
switch board”
• Build a consensus. Road show this
campaign
• Avoid disunity in the sector. The principles
of the approach will inform the activities.
So who is the enemy anyway?
“Remember, smokers aren’t the problem.
Tobacco is the problem.
“Smokers can be part of the solution even
if they can’t quit at this time…..”
