1. The Governor-General may, by Order in Council made on the recommendation of the Minister, make regulations for all or any of the following purposes:

2. prescribing safety standards for smoked tobacco products:
4. for the purposes of section 57F(1),—
   1. prohibiting constituents of smoked tobacco products:
   2. prescribing limits for the quantities of constituents in smoked tobacco products or their emissions and a method of determining whether those limits have been exceeded:
5. prescribing standards and requirements for testing for the purposes of section 57G(3) or 57H(3).

7. Before preparing regulations under subsection (1)(a) or (c), the Minister must consider—

8. the risks and benefits to the population (including both users and non-users of smoked tobacco products) of regulating the constituent; and
9. the risks and benefits to Māori (including both users and non-users of smoked tobacco products) of regulating the constituent; and
10. whether regulating a constituent of a smoked tobacco product will reduce the use of the product by reducing the appeal or addictiveness of the product, including—
    1. the likelihood that existing users of smoked tobacco products will stop using the product; and
    2. the likelihood that those who do not use smoked tobacco products will start using the product.

11. Regulations made under this section are secondary legislation (see Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019 for publication requirements).
