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 – twenty-three organisations including the Asthma and Respiratory Foundation, Cancer Society and National Heart Foundation. |

1 July 2009
I would like to inform New Zealand's tobacco control community that I will be finishing up with the Smokefree Coalition at the end of July. It has been a pleasure to have been involved in this important work alongside so many dedicated people. While I am looking forward to new challenges, there are a number of things about my time with the Coalition that I will always remember. In particular it was a privilege to have been involved with the 'light' and 'mild' issue, the commencement of the Vision process, the work on the retail display ban (congratulations to ASH and the Cancer Society for their promotion of this) and initiating discussion around tax policy. |
