Can the newly installed Government be forgiven for delaying/reversing the thrust towards a smoke-free NZ soonest in a thirsty, savage tax-gathering decision on or about its first day in office.

Opting to meet its entire pre-elections commitment to reduce some taxes, the Government found the continued purchase of highly-taxed smokes by the public at large more appealing than the continued reduction of ill-health and painful deaths that smoking cigs produces.

It came as a shock as one was expecting instead a tightening of the laws or maybe even banning to the usage of the dreadful vaping.

Other Government decisions thus far and forward thinking are a lot less controversial and indeed welcomed. A breath of fresh air or is it simply reality and commonsense - and a lot of it affecting Wellington and the Wellington region.
