Smokefree Action Plan 2019-2025

Taupō is a smoke and vape free district, under the Taupō District Council Smokefree Action Plan launched in 2019.

The plan supports the Government’s goal for New Zealand to become a smokefree country by 2025 and covers public places across the district, including the lakefront, that will now be smoke and vape free.

While it's not a by-law, the plan aims to use education and awareness to reduce smoking and vaping.
