Fighting Tokelau's tobacco crisis

From Summer Weekends, 11:45 am on 17 January 2016

55% of men and women in Tokelau are daily smokers, and kids start as young as 10.

Louise Thornley and her partner Joe Wilson are just back from six months on a small atoll there where Louise worked as a tobacco control policy advisor.

Lynn Freeman catches up with the couple to talk about living and working in the tiny New Zealand territory.
