Is the magic formula somehow about ignoring the protection money and actually doing their job? Or is it about waiting for their favoured gov to tell them what to do as a political exercise? Anyone else walked past law enforcement, or a station, only to see chop chop and cheap cigs being openly advertised?

Never met a smoker who didn’t regret picking up the habit. If this stops the next generation from getting into it, then I say it’s the right call.

Mark Butler’s legal-vape strategy makes no sense. GP visit $$$, prescription $$$$, pharmacy $$$ — while you can still buy cigarettes the same day with no doctor or prescription. Does Mark Butler really want people to stop smoking?
