Smokefree Councils & Outdoor Areas

Increasing smokefree outdoor areas is an important part of achieving the New Zealand Government's goal of a Smokefree 2025. Evidence tells us that the less young people see smoking the less likely they will start smoking so this adds to the overall picture.

Councils, tertiary institutions and Marae have shown great leadership in this area and now is an opportunity to support and challenge those that have not yet implemented any policy and increase smokefree outdoor areas.

Here you will find a range of research, case studies, templates along with examples of policies and evaluations to assist and support you.
