Did you know?
• 5000 New Zealanders die every year from a smoking-related disease. That’s 13 people every day!
• Currently there are no limits on who can sell cigarettes and where they can be sold. On average there are six shops selling cigarettes within a 10 minute walk of a secondary school.
• Cigarettes are more widely available than bread, milk, postage stamps and medication! You can buy many basic groceries to feed your family for the cost of a pouch of tobacco.
• Giving up smoking is like getting a pay rise. In a year you can save over $8,000 if you smoke 20 cigarettes a day.
