This Government has been clear that children's wellbeing must be at the front and centre of our policy agenda. With this bill I can stand here and proudly say that we are on our way to making New Zealand the best place in the world to be a child. At its core, the Smoke-free Environments (Prohibiting Smoking in Motor Vehicles Carrying Children) Amendment Bill protects our tamariki, our children, and our rangatahi from the dangers of second-hand smoke. It amends the Smoke-free Environments Act 1990, and makes it an offence to smoke in a motor vehicle carrying anyone under the age of 18.
