Thoughts?

alcohol does not have a figure in any way comparable. Do you have a source for this?

Anyway, the usual idiots clapping like seals at further restrictions and government overreach into personal matters will hopefully be equally as thrilled when it extends to alcohol/sugar/junk food/driving a car etc.

@AllesAusLiebe yep.

@DGRossetti - you don't have a clue what you are talking about, so why not retire gracefully instead of making more ridiculous statements, each of which shows up your ignorance.

My previous post is also directed at those who have no idea what life in NZ is like, and make the common mistake of thinking of it as a mini UK on the other side of the world. We are most certainly not that, and we have different problems and ways of solving them.

That's a bit petty, you can disagree with someone without getting arsey and advising everyone else to ignore.
I would say you can't make an argument yourself as you are getting antsy - but I won't

What next? Alcohol? Sugar? Meat? Cheese?

Its a great idea in theory but you can't legally buy drugs either but people still take them.... We will see

What next? Alcohol? Sugar? Meat? Cheese?

Laughing at the idea of NZ banning meat or cheese You really don't know anything about NZ do you?
