Abstract in brief

  • The study explored how New Zealand youth perceive the smokefree generation (SFG) policy, using interviews with 20 young people to understand their views on its benefits and restrictions.
  • Two main themes emerged: one viewing the SFG as a societal good that protects health, and another highlighting personal choice, with some youths supporting or opposing the policy based on their value of freedom.
  • Overall, most youths saw the SFG as a liberating measure that promotes public health, and careful communication could foster stronger support by encouraging reflection rather than heuristics.]
