NZ passes extreme neo-prohibitionist law on tobacco that’ll increase aggravated robberies & #blackmarket & hurt pockets of poorest & marginalised groups who still have high smoking rates. MP who led it gets promoted @zeitonline url.avanan.click/v2/___zeit.

10,800 hospitalizations and 1500 deaths. Sure it would be worse if you included your correctly prescribed and consumed drugs. Take the outrage for 213 calls someplace else.
