Smokefree generation law scrapped by coalition government
Labour leader Chris Hipkins unleashed a fiery speech in the debating chamber, saying the change would kill people, and increase smoking in New Zealand.

what if it's a reversion in part, e.g., they revert the rising age rule but not the nicotine limits in cigarettes?

@B hm good point - I was just thinking of the age! I've added that to the description.
