Brett and Julie Peachey have vowed to not sell cigarettes at their new Gull petrol station in Kaukapakapa, after seeing too many friends and locals perish as a result of smoking.

"You used to get super for five years, then 10 and now 20 - soon it'll be 30. I'm not sure how we can fund people getting super for 30 years or more."
