Public Health Expert Blog

The NZ Ministry of Health is currently consulting on options around making nicotine-containing e-cigarettes available in NZ.

It also highlights the need for a very well-considered approach, given consecutive NZ Governments’ poor track record in making policy to regulate addictive substances and reduce harm to public health.
