Has your life been affected by the tobacco industry?

The Māori Affairs Select Committee is holding an inquiry into the tobacco industry in Aotearoa and the consequences of tobacco use for Māori.

This is a unique and important opportunity for you to tell your story about how tobacco has impacted on you, your whanau, your tupuna and the future of your mokopuna. Your submission will take us one step closer to a Tobacco-free Aotearoa 2020.

Please consider making a submission to the committee so they understand the full impact of tobacco on Māori. It's easy to do - click here to find out more. Deadline is 29th January 2010.
