Smoke-free Environments Act 1990


The Smoke-free Environments Act 1990 is an Act of Parliament in New Zealand. The Act placed smoking restrictions on indoor spaces, banned smoking on public transport and established the Health Sponsorship Council.
The bill was introduced by Helen Clark, then Minister of Health and later Prime Minister. Clark would later refer to the law as "one of my proudest achievements as a politician".
It was amended by the Smoke-free Environments Amendment Act 2003, which completely eliminated smoking in workspaces.
