But there will be a black market in both I would think. There's also a black market in alcohol with people selling their home distilled stuff and not paying the Govt. its whack.

Do you like your taxes going towards keeping people in jail.

What's the bet that a single issue party would form, and do quite well out of an attempted smoke ban?

Yes I smoke, yes I know it will kill me, honestly I don't care. I'm amazed that I haven't already killed myself. If it goes ahead, I'm outta here, off to oz.

1186407 2011-03-16 11:44:00 Whether you smoke or not, if you let this happen then you may as well give up the right to have a say or live the way you want to.

This country has too many cheifs and all them have no balls and bow down to minorities and tree huggers. Fire them all and restart (sigh, that would be so awesome but will never happen).

Sure things should be fair for all but at the moment it is not.
If they do ban, the ciggies go underground, watch the gang empire grow even more! yay! not.

Agreed, National said before coming in to power "we will not tell you how to live your lives....yeah right"
