Sunday, 21 March 2010: Smoke Free Aotearoa?
A surprising number of those making submissions to the recent Maori Affairs Select Committee Inquiry into the tobacco industry called for a complete ban on the sale of tobacco.
So is it just - excuse the expression - a pipe dream or is a smoke free nation a realistic goal?
Ideas talks to:
Oklahoma University Profeesor Michael Givel who recently spent six months in the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan where the sale of tobacco has been banned since 2004;
Dr Sitaleki Finau, a Massey University professor of Pacific Island health and a former director of health in Niue about that nation's attempts to become smoke free;
University of Auckland academic Dr Marewa Glover on why Maori are at the forefront of those calling for a ban on the sale of tobacco;
Longtime anti-smoking campaigner and researcher Murray Laugesen on e-cigarettes and other alternatives to tobacco products, and;
Otago University public health professor Richard Edwards on what he calls tobacco's end game.
