As far as the politicians are concerned, the smoking debate is over. The new laws have been  accepted and all is well in the land of too much legislation. They couldn't be more wrong! The Labour Government is struggling to survive by what could only be described as the utilisation of dubious means. The anti smoking legislation is causing massive disenchantment and contributing to rising teenager drinking binges and unemployment numbers. Now that smokers are regarded as tenth rate citizens, the young are turning to the drug "P" for stimulation because it's cool! The public face of banning smoking in bars has moved into the streets and the results are not pretty. Have a look at the photos below.  However, there are none so blind as those who will not see.  But ignoring the obvious is their democratic choice. Maybe they should be given the same choice they gave smokers?

Millions have been spent catering for smokers around NZ. It's called survival for bars and clubs.
Big Daddy has employed the lowest of the low to enforce his idiotic legislation. Naturally they wish to remain in the shadows.
All that is needed is allow bars the choice of smoking or non smoking. This would cater for all persuasions. The evidence shows that if you stand on the street corner in a large town, in one hour you will inhale more toxic fumes than 15 years of smoking. Politics and religion has killed billions more people than smoking ever will. By all means educate the young but leave the older person to live their lives by their own standards.
                      
It's called democracy!
