The bill was introduced by Helen Clark, then Minister of Health and later Prime Minister. Clark would later refer to the law as "one of my proudest achievements as a politician".[1]

It was amended by the Smoke-free Environments Amendment Act 2003, which completely eliminated smoking in workspaces.
