Ball, J., Waa, A., Tautolo, E.-S., Edwards, R.

Tobacco use in New Zealand has declined in recent years, but Māori and Pacific smoking rates remain high at 38% and 25% respectively. This research explored the strengths and weaknesses of five policy options currently under discussion in New Zealand, from the perspective of policy experts and tobacco control and community leaders.

Robertson, L., Cameron, C., McGee, R., Marsh, L., Hoek, J.

8 December, 2015

Children and adolescents more frequently exposed to POS tobacco promotion have around 1.6 times higher odds of having tried smoking and around 1.3 times higher odds of being susceptible to future smoking, compared with those less frequently exposed. Together with the available evaluations of POS display bans, the results strongly indicate that legislation banning tobacco POS promotion will effectively reduce smoking among young people.

Robertson, L., Marsh, L., Hoek, J., McGee, R., & Egan, R.

17 August, 2015

In contrast to claims made by industry-related organisations, a proposed licensing policy is unlikely to be met with blanket opposition from tobacco retailers. Advocacy efforts may garner more support for tobacco retail policies if the purpose of policies was framed in terms of protecting young people from smoking.

A Systematic Review on the Impact of Point-of- Sale Tobacco Promotion on Smoking:

Robertson, L., McGee, R., Marsh, L. & Hoek, J.

30 August, 2014

The existing evidence supports a positive association between exposure to POS tobacco promotion and smoking. This review provides evidence to support the continuation of POS tobacco display bans in those jurisdictions where such legislation has been introduced and strengthens the evidence encouraging similar policies in jurisdictions without a POS display ban.
