In order to achieve its goal of " New Zealand smoke free By 2025, the government absolutely must take matters into its own hands. Among the proposed options: Ban the sale of cigarettes by 2025 and especially highlight vaping products.
PROMOTE THE E-CIGARETTE TO HAVE A WORLD WITHOUT TOBACCO!
The New Zealand government was recently informed that to achieve its goal " Smokefree 2025 "We will have to accelerate the movement, a ban on the sale of cigarettes by 2025 would be a very viable option.
Public health advocates and academics have also said the government needs to more aggressively encourage less harmful alternatives, such as e-cigarettes in order to help people who have failed to quit smoking.
At a briefing on the objective "Smokefree 2025In Parliament, the Director General of Hapai Te Hauora, Grant Norman, said it was out of the question that the target would be achieved with the current settings.
His organization therefore made three recommendations to MPs so that they could achieve the goal:
• Urgently encourage harm reduction products such as e-cigarettes
• Ban the sale of cigarettes by 2025
• Devote more of the excise tax on tobacco to promoting harm reduction products and supporting vulnerable families
According to Grant Norman, there cannot be more than 5 deaths per year from tobacco-related illnesses if the product is no longer available. 
« We believe that we need to have an aggressive strategy to get rid of this product. " did he declare.
According to him, it would immediately be necessary to adopt legislation to ban the sale of cigarettes in 2025, the ban could be introduced gradually.
While there are already initiatives underway to encourage e-cigarette use in New Zealand, the Managing Director of Hapai Te Hauora thinks that the process should be speeded up.
It also states that vaping products should be promoted through public campaigns funded by tobacco taxes, recalling that less than 3% of the annual 2 billion tax on tobacco sales has been reinvested for this purpose.
Boyd BroughtonASH Program Manager said that the previous government had chosen the "politically acceptable" recommendations and, as a result, little progress had been made since 2010 in reducing smoking rates.
