Māori public health advocacy service Hapai Te Hauora says ACT deputy leader Brooke van Velden should bin the postcards she received from dairy owners protesting against restrictions on selling cigarettes.
It has been revealed the postcards were printed by British American Tobacco.
Hapai chief executive Selah Hart says her organisation has supported real whānau, hapū, iwi and communities to have their say on the Smokefree Action Plan, then along comes Big Tobacco with big dollars to use dairy owners to push their agenda.
She says dairy owners need to realise that with their support Big Tobacco has for decades devastated real whānau, hapū, iwi and communities and the country’s ability to advance health and wellbeing.
