Chris Bullen: Health Coalition Aotearoa Spokesperson on the Talbot Mills survey into tobacco and nicotine regulation

A Talbot Mills survey —commissioned by public health group Health Coalition Aotearoa— has found more than two thirds of respondents think the industry is influencing policy.
55% of respondents support reintroducing low-nicotine cigarettes.
