Still more smokers than the Nanny State would like. They sure don’t mind the cigarette taxes, tho’ — when the last smoker in NZ stubs out for the last time, I predict a massive tax increase. Or maybe sugar will be next in line... you never can tell with Helen, except that she’s always in favor of more control and more tax.
