Luxon et al continually (non)reply that they are committed to reducing smoking in Aotearoa (they might say New Zealand actually). Journalists have to put on their big-boy pants and repeatedly point out that their actions don’t match their rhetoric. Gaslighting is exactly the right word

Interestingly Costello said they are going to meet NZ’s smoke free targets early and possibly this year. I have no doubt they excel at number and terminology management.
