The Smokefree Coalition is committed to preventing the uptake of smoking among young people and reducing the smoking rates of all New Zealanders.

Established in 1995, we encourage debate about tobacco control issues.

The Smokefree Coalition provides a collective voice for our members – thirty-eight organisations including the Asthma and Respiratory Foundation, Cancer Society and National Heart Foundation.

To achieve a Smokefree Nation by 2025, here are our next steps:

Part of the Smokefree Coalition's executive director's role is to represent the members at the National Tobacco Control Working Group. This group has recently finalised strategic documents that will support government's commitment to making Aotearoa New Zealand a Smokefree nation by 2025.

One document (the Roadmap) outlines for our sector the logic model of all our activities, so that we can all understand where and how our activities – be they large or small interventions – contribute to the overall vision and goal. This Roadmap is colour coded for easy definition between measurable outcomes, key objectives, and the matrix of sector activities. Three lead agencies were delegated to continue working on providing each key objective's action plan, and they will be provided on this website as soon as they are finalised.
