Something that will see crime spike as black marketers rob stores for &#8216;the good stuff&#8217; before conventional tobacco sales end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is no point stamping our feet because the government won\u2019t listen,\u201d says Sunny Kaushal, chair of the Dairy and Business Owners\u2019<br>Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe know that from our petition, which has over 1,700 online and physical signatures, that supposedly local MP\u2019s did not get back to us<br>on. We now have a sponsor but it looks as if it won\u2019t be tabled until2022, whereas the Cancer Society\u2019s one sped right on through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is why we plan to write to the Associate Minister of Health, DrVerrall, to ask for a meeting with her, the Minister of Finance and the<br>Minister of Police in order to talk about compensation and security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the 1990\u2019s, when tobacco sponsorship for events and sports wereaxed, the Health Sponsorship Council was created to fill the void. If<br>the government can do that then and underwrite major events for Covidrisk now, then a compensation package is right and proper to help some4,000 dairies and owner-operated service stations reimagine theirbusinesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs the Minister wants very low nicotine cigarettes it will likely meangenetically engineered tobacco that\u2019ll only be sold at a tenth of<br>current outlets. It doesn\u2019t take a rocket scientist to figure out thatassaults, robberies and potentially dairy owner deaths could result over<br>the next few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe gangs are the big winners as they\u2019ll set up \u2018ciggie houses\u2019 sellingfull-strength tobacco alongside the \u2018tinnie houses.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLook, we don\u2019t disagree with the need for a Smokefree New Zealand, butthe Minister\u2019s press release reads as if it was written well before the2021 Health Survey results came out last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDue to vaping, a record 98,000 New Zealanders have quit smoking daily over the past year, 34,000 of them Maori. The Minister claims it will take decades for Maori to become smokefree but based on a 6.3% drop in just one year, that could be in less than six years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe now face \u2018dairygeddon\u2019 where the South Island\u2019s entire West Coast may only have one or two legal outlets. Instead, give dairies back vape flavours and that will at least stop the flight to the black market and provide real options for smokers and a way forward for dairies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll dairy owners want is a fair go given the consultation process that we submitted on, now appears to have been pre-determined,\u201d Mr Kaushal said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"299\" height=\"168\" src=\"https:\/\/dailykhabar.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Unknown-6-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailykhabar.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Unknown-6-1.jpeg 299w, https:\/\/dailykhabar.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Unknown-6-1-215x120.jpeg 215w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 299px) 100vw, 299px\" \/><figcaption> Mr Kaushal <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dairy owners want compensation and a massive boost in security with the end of cigarette sales being signalled.
