There’s been a change in approach in a bid to secure Smoke-Free 2025. 

Minister-in-Charge, Casey Costello's unveiled a refreshed Health New Zealand action plan. 

It includes no new funding or programmes, with the existing $24 million budget being reallocated to the frontline.  

Costello told Mike Hosking the Government's tried to pare back the programme to practical applications and tools for those wanting to quit. 

She says it's about informing and leading people to available services, rather than the previous prohibitionist approach.
