“…Given that one-third of New Zealand tobacco retail outlets have a licence to sell alcohol, and 13% of all retail outlets are on-licence premises, this simple measure could dramatically change where tobacco is consumed (Marsh et al 2013). In addition, prohibiting tobacco sales in on-licenced premises would alter how tobacco is consumed and recognise smokers' tendency to smoke more when drinking alcohol (Paul et al 2010).…”

There is evidence that smoking and alcohol consumption are paired behaviours among university students, but we know little about how New Zealand students engage in these behaviours. We estimated prevalence of daily and occasional smoking among university students, and associations of smoking with drinking patterns, demographics and smokefree policies of the university. This research was conducted with 2822 university students, aged 17-25, from five New Zealand universities who participated in an online health survey in 2013. Fourteen percent reported they currently smoke occasionally, and 3% reported smoking on a daily basis. Increasing age, living situation, drinking more often, and drinking more alcohol during drinking occasions were all associated with greater levels of smoking. Understanding patterns of smoking in relation to alcohol consumption may help efforts to further reduce smoking prevalence. Specifically, policy makers should consider approaches that de-couple tobacco and alcohol consumption, such as expanding the smokefree perimeter of bars and disallowing the sale of tobacco at premises licensed to sell alcohol.

“…Greater retailer density surrounding schools may encourage curiosity and temptation in relation to tobacco, may normalise smoking in the community as an acceptable and normal behaviour, and provide opportunities and triggers for youth to attempt to purchase tobacco. Restrictions on tobacco marketing in NZ have reduced most forms of tobacco promotion, but the large number of retail outlets represents a major form of promotion16 and undermines attempts to denormalise tobacco. Internationally, jurisdictions have implemented zoning restrictions limiting the distance that tobacco retailers can be located to a school 17.…”
