Aotearoa New Zealand (Aotearoa NZ) is seen as a leader in tobacco control, yet little is known about its implementation of Article 5.3 protections. This study aimed to understand the nature and extent of implementation of Article 5.3 and the constraints on tobacco industry influence in tobacco control policy processes in Aotearoa NZ.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Data were obtained through interviews (n=21) with current and former members of Parliament, ministers, government officials, political journalists, and public health experts, alongside analysis of key texts.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Aotearoa NZ has not meaningfully implemented Article 5.3, with public health informants arguing that it has been neglected from the start. Politicians were unaware of Article 5.3 obligations and reported limited guidance on industry interactions. These gaps are compounded by non-existent lobbying laws, and government transparency measures that provide limited oversight of lobbying.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Despite the country\u2019s reputation for strong tobacco control, Aotearoa NZ\u2019s failure to fully implement Article 5.3 leaves its health policies vulnerable to tobacco industry interference. Aotearoa NZ and other parties should introduce legislation to implement Article 5.3 into domestic law and raise awareness of its protections and tobacco industry interference across government to safeguard policy decisions from tobacco industry influence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/tc-2026-060161","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,23]],"date-time":"2026-08-23T18:20:12Z","timestamp":1787509212000},"page":"tc-2026-060161","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Tobacco industry interference and WHO FCTC Article 5.3 implementation in Aotearoa New Zealand: A qualitative analysis"],"prefix":"10.1136","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-9299-745X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Melissa-Jade","family":"Gregan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Population Health, The University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Janine","family":"Wiles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Population Health, The University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vili","family":"Nosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Population Health, The University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erena","family":"Wikaire","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Population Health, The University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Adams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Population Health, The University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026082311200694000_tc-2026-060161v1.1","unstructured":"National Party, ACT New Zealand .
