My grandfather died from smoking. My father died from smoking. I quit smoking the day my father died. I smoked cigarettes for 15 years (11-26). My father never got to meet his grandchildren because he died too young (61).

Big tobacco took my father away from me and my children.

What the #NzGovernment has done is condemn future generations to misery. The terrible health outcomes, the mental distress of death and the very real cost to our society. #nzpol #NationalNotFitToGovern #SmokefreeNZ

Of all the repeals by the current govt this is the one that gets my blood boiling the most. My kids were on track to be part of the smokefree generation, and Winston rolls in and weak-willed "M&A genius" Luxon folds to claim tax dollars.

Smoking killed my grandmother. I don't want it doing the same to my kids.

Shane and his sock puppet mates in this government sure are a bunch of regressive muppets. #NZPOL #SmokefreeNZ #NZNational

Found this on r/newzealand last night, is it something that could be used to derail the repealing of the legislation or are we clutching at straws?
