Spotted the item below on a NZ news site, I also saw an almost identical article on an Australian site, perhaps they are in the Canadian duty free as well. Sneaky way to improve sales, market them as souvenirs.
Anti-smoking groups are outraged at the sale of duty-free cigarettes emblazoned with the brand name "New Zealand" and featuring the silver fern on their packaging.
The Smokefree Coalition and Te Reo Marama (Maori Smokefree Coalition) are calling for immediate withdrawal of the cigarettes, available at some duty-free stores.
The black-and-silver packaged cigarettes are made in Luxembourg, but bear the silver fern with the tag line "luxuriously mild cigarettes".
