STOP SMOKING, or DIEEEEE! (Page 1/1) TheDigitalAlchemist DEC 09, 04:17 PM I just heard from this guy that New Zealand enacted a new law - if you are caught smoking, you get the death penalty! No wait, sorry - that's not what they did... that guy is a dummy liar person. In a bid to eventually phase out smoking, New Zealand will ban the sale of tobacco to its next generation, (in a bid to eventually phase out smoking.) https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-59589775 MidEngineManiac DEC 09, 06:11 PM Because bans and prohibitions have always worked out soooooooooo well.

I was paying $5 a pack when I quit, I swore I would quit when it hit $1 a pack. randye DEC 09, 08:24 PM Smoking could cause you to only live to 100 MidEngineManiac DEC 09, 10:26 PM quote Originally posted by Jake_Dragon: Well they tried to make it so expensive that people would stop. I was paying $5 a pack when I quit, I swore I would quit when it hit $1 a pack. Yeh, they did that here too. 13 bucks a pack if you buy from the store now. Everybody just heads to the native res and gets them for between 10-20 a carton depending on what you want and screw the tax-man. It's like 20's bootlegging but on such a large scale the cops have given up trying to do anything about it. Not to mention political hot potato. Hell, a lot of them have their own cigarette factories on the res . Capitalism at work. So much for that plan. Hudini DEC 10, 04:05 AM Somebody in government have a stake in the e-cig makers?
