The Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products Act 1990 (originally the Smoke-free Environments Act 1990) is an act of the New Zealand Parliament. It placed restrictions on smoking in indoor spaces, banned smoking on public transport and established the Health Sponsorship Council. The bill was introduced by Helen Clark, then Minister of Health and later Prime Minister, who would later say the law was "one of my proudest achievements as a politician".Clark, Helen (2018). Women, Equality, Power: Selected speeches from 35 years of leadership (p. 53). Allen & Unwin. It was amended by the Smoke-free Environments Amendment Act 2003, which eliminated smoking in workspaces, by the Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products (Vaping) Amendment Act 2020, which renamed the Act and brought it "up to date", and by the Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products (Smoked Tobacco) Amendment Act 2022.
