The New Zealand Experience: How Smoking Affects SIDS Rates - Special Issue New Zealand is a small country--the size of England--with a population of just over four million, of which 15 percent are indigenous Maori. In the 1980s we had the unenviable reputation of having one of the highest rates of infant death in the Western world.
