This Act aims to help people who do not smoke by reducing the harm caused by others smoking. It also wants to stop vaping from seeming like a normal thing to do. You are protected by this Act, especially if you are a child or young person, as it tries to reduce the appeal of certain products to you.

The Act wants to minimise harm from these products, especially to children and young people like you. It also tries to reduce your access to these products. This Act regulates how products are marketed, advertised, and promoted to improve public health.

This means discouraging you and others from starting to smoke or vape, and encouraging people to stop using these products. The Act also supports people who smoke to switch to less harmful products. It ensures the safety of these products and monitors what they contain and release.

The Act is also about following rules that New Zealand agreed to as part of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. This helps keep you and others safe from harm caused by smoking and vaping.

You are safer because this Act helps control what products are available and how they are sold. It is all about keeping you healthy and safe from harm.
