Let’s be clear, these foreign owned companies are death dealing drug pushers. They will kill more Australians than any terrorist organisation could even dream of. They choose to support Abbotts coalition because he is more likely to let them continue their filthy trade. Over the last 10years they have donated $2.5millions dollars to the coalition. The labor party refuses donations from them. The pro smoking anti-labor ad campaign is being run by a former Howard government advisor. Some perspective; smoking kills 19,000 Australians and maims and addict hundreds of thousands of others. That's more deaths than alcohol, all other drugs, all car, plane, household accidents put together. During the second world the combined recourses of all our enemies manages to kill 40,000 Australians over the course of the six year conflict. The tobacco companies will achieve that number of deaths in just two and manage to turn a profit in the process. How is this legal?

I do not smoke, not for the last 16 years anyway, but that was my choice. It is not against the the law for a person to smoke, so why treat smokers like they were doing something illegal? If people do not want to allow smoking, then make it illegal. To all you smokers out there. Smoking is your choice, so if you want to smoke good luck to you, don't get pushed around. If they force retail outlets to sell in plain packets, or packets with gruesome photos on them, do as I did when I was younger. But a fancy cigarette case and put your smokes in there. That way you will not have to look at their pictures.
