Tobacco tax racist towards Maori?

How much of the tax take on ciggys comes from beneficiaries spending my hard earned tax dollars on smokes. That needs to be backed out of the equation.

all of your tax take goes to beneficiaries. You just happened to vote for a particularly hungry one.

Big Tobacco has moved its poison to developing countries.

Less than a $1 a packet there.
Paula Bennett could spring for flights for the $5k relocation money they are offering.

Payback for stinking out everywhere back in the 80's, be good to see them moved on from outside eating establishments too.

Once many moons ago in foreign climes NZ Customs made a gift to some of their nation's representatives overseas of seized cigarettes: Chesterfields. I don't wish to appear ungrateful but those things were bloody awful. I can see why they still had them left over after they had got rid of every other brand.

As addicted as I was I would almost rather have gone without than smoke those.

Yeah ... I'm with him ... sorry Woodman ... I'm a smoker ... I have a right to kill myself slowly ... so fuck off ..

The problem is those of us who want to go out for a beer or eat a meal in peace and we are forced to breath in smoke.

I don't care if anyone wants to smoke, that's up to them. But if I have to cough and stink like shit for someone else to fuel their addiction, then is it "my right to smoke"?

What about fines for wankers who sit in a crowd and force 20 people to breath their smoke?

You seem to like being with 'him' it's starting to sound very suspicious.

When smoking was banned from Bars and shit, people started bringing their fucking kids out for a meal, which was good for the Bar no question but shit for those who want to have a beer without fucking screaming kids running around the place. Take your kids out for tea but keep them in the restaurant part.

I like having the odd beer but I would imagine a smoker would hate it if I stood there and pissed on them, which essentially is akin to what is happening when smokers invade a non smokers immediate area.

You don't have to cough and stink like shit ya know...
You could have your beer INSIDE the pub or have your meal INSIDE the restaurant/cafe, places where us leppers have been banned from, it's your choice to sit outside with the people who choose to kill themselves slowly, or be pro active and position yourself up wind
You non smokers should be xtra nice to us... After all, we don't have long to live

[Woodman]

Hey Woodman.

Hey Jatz, Maybe I should have said Bloody Moronic Wankers

You are going to make a point of smoking right next to me on our next ride now aren't you.
