Hmmm maori party leader fancies retiring does he/she. Talk about alienating your key supporters???

This whole smoking debate is pathetic. Ban it in public places, ban in the home where non consenting adults are present, but don't ban it outright. The tax revenue the government makes on cigarette sales is tremendous and far outweighs the cost of healthcare to victims, easy money!! And noones offended apart from smokers but not half as much as they would be if they outlawed it completely.

Jeez, I should be a politician.
