	Description:		Questions over the immediate effect of a landmark smokefree legislation. The Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products Amendment Bill has passed its third reading, banning the sale of tobacco to anyone born after the 1st of January 2009. It will also see the amount of nicotine in smoked tobacco products reduced, and the number of tobacco selling retailers decreased. ASH chair Professor Robert Beaglehole told Tim Dower the Smokefree 2025 goal is attainable, but only in the long run. He sees these changes are all complex, untried and experimental, and delays in implementation will only see the bill come into effect after 2025.
