    Why don’t they tell the Maori to not smoke?

      Why don’t they tell the Maori to not smoke?

      There have been more than 10 years of targetted ads telling Maori not to smoke, appealing to specifically Maori concepts like whanau and manaaakitanga.

      What the people in this thread don’t realise is that this law was part of Smokefree Aotearoa, an initiative invented by The Maori Party (a party whose main voters are Maori) to gradually phase out smoking.

      It wasn’t an abrupt change.
