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.

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.

You don’t know much about Western Sydney tobacconists, Homo. We understand.

You don’t buy chop chop in your leafy white enclaves. You have your international passport to smoking pleasure.

Mum gives you rollies for putting out the bins.

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

Excuse me, Mr Abbott almost won Pollie Pedal.

Oh yes, very true. And how can anyone forget that Mr Abbott spent all that time living on bare essentials while the Lodge was being renovated. It only cost $700,000 because some idiot public servants had assumed Tony would like a normal house, and couldn't cancel the rent and all the security upgrades.

she was undermined her entire tenure.

Probably one of the most reprehensible things to occur in Australian politics, ever.

It's right up there with the events leading up to 11-11-75.

And by the same mob.

Over and over they prove themselves unfit to govern.

And over and over, they hoodwink the foolish, the ignorant and the gullible to vote for them.

I'm all for women getting a go but as a leader she was atrocious. One I remember is Gillard by passing an experienced person to appoint Nova Peris Assbone (who had no experience at all) as Aboriginal Affairs Minister . It was one of those "captains picks". Nova anyways starts a travelling on the public purse and goes to the states. There she gets shagged by one of those big Man Dingo black athletes one night on the turps. Anyways Nova feels touched for the very first time AGAIN and decides to hook it up so her shagger can do a tour of Australia on the public purse . He's paid thousands of dollars to come out here and do school tours. You know why ?? So she can get him away from his wife and they can continue their affair. She even admitted to it. You know the funny thing?? SHE DIDN'T GET THE SACK. SHE'S STILL IN POLITICS!!!! Grin

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.

Wow, the misunderstanding just goes on and on doesn’t it? Can’t you get it? It really isn’t that hard to understand.

If I was a kid and a friend came along with a packet of cigarettes in a nice packet with all the misapplied miracle of commercial design so that it looked cool etc I might smoke a cigarette. With a packet colored like camelsh1t I might decide it looked UNcool, the big graphic picture of the results of smoking would likely turn me off even more.

Makes common sense to me, Monk. I wonder why Black Orchid struggles with such a simple concept?

Nope, no idea. Bright colored packet v camelsh1t colored packet. Clever commercial design to create an impression of coolness or whatever v big disgusting–looking pictures of lung cancer. Hardly make any difference at all!

sounds good, except the numbers are proving you wrong. Irrespective of how expensive cigarettes got, we only had a decline in the kids taking up smoking AFTER plain packaging came in.

If YOU were a kid??? Is that what you are basing your proclamation on? What you may or may not do if you were a kid? That's hilarious. Really! Like I said. Enough said.

Most kids are a bit smarter than that and don't take up smoking because of pretty packaging. You really don't understand that do you?

Instead of proclaiming what a resounding success plain packaging has been how about supplying stats. REAL stats. How many people have given up smoking because of the packaging? I have not heard of one so far. Not one.

Cigarette prices go up twice a year in February and August. Price hikes would be a far more indicative reason for giving up than packaging.

It is pointless to assume people have not even taken up the habit because of plain packaging as it could never be proven.
