Another of the measures is to lower the level of nicotine in tobacco, to lower tobacco sales points from 6,000 to 600.
Those born after 2009 will not be able to smoke for life, and if they do they will be fined up to $150,000, according to the new provisions of the New Zealand Parliament.
It is estimated that 8% of New Zealanders smoke tobacco daily, and in the Maori population the average smoker is 20%.
