PUBLISHED OCTOBER 13TH
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has divided political opinion.
For many, her strict policies on climate change, lockdowns and public health are welcomed as necessary measures in uncertain times.
However, for others, she represents a dark turn in Western politics, one which seeks to mask statists intentions with seemingly empathetic reform. This is seen most clearly in the Prime Minister's zealous intervention in the New Zealand tobacco market.
In this episode of the Swift Half with Snowdon, IEA Head of Lifestyle Economics Christopher Snowdon sits down with Dr Marewa Glover to discuss Ardern's approach to tobacco regulation and vaping.
Dr Glover is a Māori behavioural scientist with over 30 years experience in public health and over 100 scientific papers.
