Smokefree outdoor areas: A chance for Wellington to lead
Smokefree outdoor areas: A chance for Wellington to lead
Associate Professor George Thomson, ASPIRE 2025, UOW
This seminar will present
evidence from the Smokefree Wellington project, a case study
on ways to advance outdoor Smokefree policies in urban
areas.
New smokefree outdoor area policies provide an
opportunity for Wellington City to lead New Zealand, and
bring the city into a world focus. New Zealand cities have
fallen behind many major English-speaking cities around the
Pacific-rim,
which have much more advanced outdoor
Smokefree policies. Findings indicate that the hospitality
industry was divided in their knowledge of and attitudes to
outdoor smokefree areas.

of tobacco taxation and smokefree outdoor
areas.
