Most want end to tobacco-sport link’
PA Wellington Most New Zealanders do not support sports sponsorship by tobacco companies, a nationwide poll by the National Research Bureau for the Cancer Society shows. Such sponsorship should be phased out, 83 per cent of New Zealanders believe. Forty-five per cent say this should happen immediately and 38 per cent agree if replacement funding is made available to sports groups, the poll’s findings show. The poll proved an “overwhelming majority
of New Zealanders share the concern of health groups about the effects of cigarette advertising on children and young people,” the society’s national executive director, Mr Jeff Brown, said yesterday.
“There is almost universal agreement (94 per cent) that children and young people should be discouraged from taking up smoking.” The survey was conducted of 2000 people aged 16 years and over in 20 of New Zealand’s biggest cities.
