@EricCrampton@drkiwicj@drayeshaverrall Total excise on heated tobacco was <4mil, so let’s call it $2mil less under new excise regime. Far cry from the hospital budgeted costs.
@2ETEKA@Robert_Patman Zero relevance and well past her “best before date”. Never understood why this old hag is still being entertained by anyone today.
@nigeltech@BarryYoungNZ There is no actual crime, idiot. Depersonalised datasets with only numbers showing gross misrepresentation from Gov and MoH .
But you’re probably a special kind of someone, eh you crayon eating windowlicker?
@Bridgetpee@BeInformed6@chrisluxonmp Neither of which works, except taking away people’s freedom of choice and creating a perfect illicit market environment where the $$ flows to criminal elements.
The crisis at the border is unsustainable. The body bags keep piling up. Drugs and human trafficking run rampant. Our cities and towns are overrun and strained to the max. The number of illegal migrants in the United States has roughly doubled under President Biden. Under his watch, the number of people taken into custody by the U.S. Border Patrol has reached an average of 2 million per year—the highest levels in the agency’s 100-year history.
President Biden continues to play chicken with our lives and refuses to use executive authority to secure the border. In fact, he walked back many of the restrictions that were keeping the crisis under control before he took office.
This is a deliberate political move. Biden has held office for 50 years; he’s playing dumb when pretends he doesn’t know what to do. And he’s playing politics when he ties border security to overseas war funding.
Enough is enough.

@BrutalNz@2ETEKA High prices’ first effect is downtrading to cheaper ciggies, then vapes. In the absence of vaping, downtrading to illicit is the next choice. Look at Australia, black market for both tobacco no vapes are booming.
