The World Health Organization selects a theme every year. Sometimes these themes are used in New Zealand, while in other years a different theme is chosen to support current national tobacco control priorities. For example, the WHO theme for 2004 was ‘Tobacco and Poverty’, however New Zealand continued to promote a second-hand smoke theme in support of the smokefree workplaces legislation that was to be implemented on 10 December that year.
The yearly themes used in New Zealand are selected after consultation with World Smokefree Day Group members and through discussions with the tobacco control sector.
