| 476074 | 2006-08-04 19:46:00 | " Anti-smoking campaigners are furious over the launch of trendy new cigarette tins which have removable health warnings. "The tins are cool, attractive and have an easy-to-peel-off Ministry of Health warning," ASH NZ director Becky Freeman said. ASH NZ and the Cancer Society say the move is an attempt to undermine proposed graphic health warnings, and exploits a loophole in the law." Why do these scum wowsers keep trying to take away some people's pleasure? GOD THEY MAKE ME MAD :mad: :mad: :mad: |

| 476075 | 2006-08-04 21:19:00 | What next? alcohold is banned because it makes drivers drunk and causes deaths? Oh please! Everything in moderation! Smoke alarms have radioactive material in them, we are a nuclear free country. Televisions and microwaves generate radiation, I'm still here... This country is on the border line of the "Ring of fire" and I live in Auckland... ASH need to take their heads out of their arses and smell the roses... after they wash off their own faecal matter. The ministry said it was investigating whether the new labels were illegal but had yet to see a tin. Ms Freeman said the reusable plastic Benson & Hedges tins - which are sold full of cigarettes - would appeal to young smokers, who could remove the warnings. She called on the ministry to make peel-off labels illegal after its review of cigarette warnings. Ever heard of De Solv It from Mitre 10? |

| 476078 | 2006-08-04 22:50:00 | I still have some tobacco tins, they were excellent for keeping small screws, rivets, split pins in, etc. Cadbury's Cocoa used to come in tins too, lots of things could be made from cocoa tins with the aid of tin snips and a soldering iron,... and cigar boxes.... all the boys magazines recommended cigar boxes in which to build your crystal set. I dont know whether the residual aroma from the cigar box had any special properties that assisted the crystal set..... |

| 476081 | 2006-08-05 01:50:00 | In a way, the removable stickers achieve the required result. To actually peel one off would require giving the warning much more attention than it gets from someone just opening the packet. Like all advertising it is ignored. That's why advertisers work hard to get your attention, even if the only way they can do it is by annoying you so much you would never buy the product. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 476082 | 2006-08-05 01:57:00 | My tobacco tin is heading for retirement... two of the corners have somehow perished and have holes. Wish I could buy a similar replacement here in NZ. | Greg (193) | ||
| 476083 | 2006-08-05 02:45:00 | I have a few spare ones Greg... my favourite is 'Exlax' chocolate flavoured laxative. Me thinks those guys at ASH should try some to 'loosen them up a bit' :D |
