Yesterday the government announced the legalisation of nicotine e-cigarettes and e-liquid with appropriate controls. The announcement has received a mostly positive response, with many believing that the change is a huge step towards helping kiwis quit smoking, and attaining the ultimate goal of a smoke-free NZ by 2025. Producer Jess Smith speaks to Health Minister Nicky Wagner to find out more about what the new law involves, and what it means for New Zealand.
