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
