bloody hell, leave our smokes alone. we know it's bad for us, don't need the lecture.

Yeah nah Casey, you're a clown. Reducing tobacco tax would be a massive L for public health. But hey, who needs health when you've got Big Tobacco lobbyists in your ear?

Jordan Bell2026-07-07T04:37:04.000Z

get stuffed. i quit smoking and still think she's a muppet.

Sky Murphy2026-07-07T04:43:04.000Z

tbh i think she's just trying to win votes from smokers. pathetic.

My granddad smoked 40 a day and lived to 94. Just sayin'.

Sky Murphy2026-07-07T05:31:04.000Z

ur granddad is an outlier. most ppl die young from that crap.

nah mate, if they reduce tax it just means more kids can afford ciggies. bad move.

Sky Murphy2026-07-07T05:23:04.000Z

This government is cooked. First they ban shit, then they tax it, now they might reduce tax? Make up your damn mind.

Jordan Bell2026-07-07T05:48:04.000Z

wonder how much she's getting paid by tobacco companies. smell a rat

Grace Patel2026-07-07T06:09:04.000Z

facts. she's been a disaster since day one.

Isla Cooper2026-07-07T06:18:04.000Z

Would rather they focus on real issues like the cost of living. Who cares about tobacco tax?

Sky Murphy2026-07-07T07:12:04.000Z

we care cos our tax dollars pay for the healthcare of smokers. dumbtake.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-07T06:23:04.000Z

all the anti-smokers in the comments are probably vaping like chimneys themselves lol

Reagan Shaw2026-07-07T07:00:04.000Z

lol cope, no one's forcing u to vape

Grace Patel2026-07-07T06:30:04.000Z

Classic NZ politician: say you'll review something, do nothing, then pat yourself on the back. Yawn.

Isla Cooper2026-07-07T07:13:04.000Z
