The only reason people are giving up smoking is because it's too expensive. A pack of 25's is $20+.

You’re free to scab one off your mum on pension day, Homo. Or try the dirty Paki next door.

Their religion doesn’t let them refuse.

Nobody in my family smokes sugar muffin. Thanks for the concern though.

While I support it, I would like to see any evidence that it actually makes any difference. Going by the examples of smokers I have known, they could be made to line up in their underwear in the cold to buy cigarettes and they would still do it.

Probably....but I wonder if a potential smoker would? Isn't that the point?

It's a good point. Do you know of any studies that have research the effectiveness of this policy?

I support it even if it doesnt work.

Spoken (OK, typed) like a true idiot.

Even for you, that's a pearler.

Nice to know you don’t smoke sugar muffins but do you smoke tobacco?

But the Plain Packaging legislation has been a resounding success.

Like I said, people are giving it up because it costs too much. I'll stand by that comment. Karnal walks through customs with cartons of ciggies under her burqa. She's dirty because her black market ciggie business has taken a hit. Her husband has been giving her backhanders because of it.

Reply #19 - Dec 18^th, 2015 at 5:55pm Cost is a factor and is why Shorten said he would hike tobacco excise. However, the PP has also pursuaded some to stop and has seen a lot less young people take up the habit as you would expect. A cigarette packet the color of camel poo is not something that looks exciting and “cool.”

Most people aren't performing monkeys or magpies who like to collect pretty shiny things. If they were they would be buying confectionery in bright colourful packs or coloured tic tacs as opposed to cigarettes.

Seriously, if you ever bought cigarettes because you liked the packaging your IQ leaves a lot to be desired.

People are quitting because of the cost, not because they now come in a plain dark grey pack.

One good policy doesn't make up for the multitude of terribly appalling policies and decisions she made during her term. The truth is that they make her our worst PM ever.

NDIS was Julia Gillard's greatest achievement....It is a pity Colin Barnett will not support it....Although he wont be Premier for much longer after stuffing up WA!!!

You don’t really understand what I said, do you? Anybody who read a little bit of the story knows that the packets are designed very carefully by the Pushers in Suits. Camel sh1t is not nearly as nice.

If you don’t understand the subject of debate then it would be better to read on or ask questions.

Yeah, I can see who was the "Worst PM ever"...

Gillard was great. It's a shame that she was undermined her entire tenure.
