New Zealand anti-smoking groups want to see the world become smokefree by 2040.
Delegates from our National Tobacco Control Working Group are heading to Singapore next week to submit a proposal to the World Conference on Tobacco or Health.

She says the key will being aggressive with big tobacco companies, who'll definitely be aggressive about preventing change.
