the law introduced under the previous government led by jacinda ardern would have banned cigarette salesyear to everyone born after 2008. health organizations say they are appalled by the decision. new zealand's laws are believed to have influence to the u.k. government to announce a similar smoking ban for people here. reporter: more people died from smoking in new zealand than any other preventable cause. the problem is most acute among the country's indigenous maori population. it is why back in 2021, new zealand's then health minister made this bold announcement. >> we want to make sure young people never start smoking, so we are legislating for a smoke-free generation. reporter: the legislation was passed last year and was due to come into force later this year, but as the new center-right national party-led government was born in earlier today, the landmark policy had been scrapped with ministers insisting cash raised by the duty on tobacco sales should be used found tax cuts. as well as banning those born after 2008 from smoking, the measures also included restricting the number o

led mostly by jacinda labour government. led mostly byjacinda ardern, so labour government. mirror. the new man in charge is christopher luxon the former airline boss and he has fashioned a new centre—right coalition as you say with the libertarian act party party and the populist new zealand first party. so we do expect the new administration to take an axe to many of the policies of the previous administration, there will be tax cuts, laws that have banned the exploration offshore oil and gas will be repealed, and also there are plans to wind back legislation that would have made new zealand smoke—free in the next few years. so some important reforms coming new zealand's que. �* ., ., _ , que. and how easy will it be for him, _ que. and how easy will it be for him, coalitions _ que. and how easy will it be for him, coalitions can - que. and how easy will it be for him, coalitions can often| for him, coalitions can often be fraught with difficulty, what are people saying? it has been six weeks _ what are people saying? it has been six weeks of _ what are people saying? it h

the legislation, introduced under the previous jacinda ardern—led government, would have banned cigaretten new zealand, and the policy had aimed to stop young generations from picking up the habit. health experts have strongly criticised the sudden reversal. earlier i spoke with sir michael baker, professor of public health at the university of 0tago in new zealand. here was his reaction to the reversal of the smoking ban. around the world that might have been considered? well, hopefully other governments will take a far more evidence — informed approach and accept that reducing tobacco has so many long—term benefits. in new zealand it was estimated to save more than $1 billion for the health system over the next 20 years, and also prevent around 5,000 deaths a year in new zealand. so i think most informed people in new zealand felt that this policy would be intact, it would survive any change in government, because it did enjoy support from across the house during its introduction and discussion. so, this has come as a major shock i think for most thinking new zealanders. the president o
