1186371 2011-03-16 00:03:00 Then they can start on alcohol which causes more deaths than smokes.
Then after that ban fat and do random checks on your house to see if you're frying chips.
And then make exercise compulsory.
Etc etc.

True. But where will they get all the tax revenue from for the stuff that you aren't allowed to buy..

They are dammed sneaky one of them said she was a non smoker when I hired here.
Can I set up a webcam in the hedge where they go would the evidence be admissible if they try and do a Billy on me? If they on the other side of the hedge/fence could they get away with that. Shifted a bin into the gap of the hedge to stop them going there and outside the yard.

Yes. You can set up web cams with the requisite signs.

Do I take it that non smokers can be trusted 100%?

Its funny, but our political parties are actually populists parties and will chase the vote, i cant see this one as popular considering about a third of NZ still smokes!
