Most New Zealanders think the tobacco industry is influencing government policy. 

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. 

Health Coalition Aotearoa Spokesperson Chris Bullen told Ryan Bridge that while all industries want policies oriented towards them, the tobacco industry has a long history, all around the world, of behaving in particularly bad ways.
