30075 (2023). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health

30075 (2023). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: Does the Minister agree with Christopher Luxon’s statement that “concentrating distribution of cigarettes in a few small stores- if you're the only store in your small town in New Zealand, you become a massive target for crime. We think there will be an emergence of a big black market that'll be largely untaxed,” what reports or advice, if any has he or his office seen regarding the health impacts of repealing smokefree legislation?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: I refer the Member to Written Parliamentary Question 30074 (2023).
