- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

I don't think there's a smoker alive who doesn't know it's bad for them and a lot of them would like to quit. It's a sad thing.

Of course. No way they are going to poison themselves without poisoning everyone else around them alongside.

$40 a day for a heavy smoker here.
Wow! Is there a big black market for cigarettes in NZ? And have these prices lead to a lower consumption?
Not really a black market for cigarettes here but you can grow your own tobacco legally if you really want to go down that road. Smoking tobacco in younger generations is very rare but vaping on the other hand is very popular. The government was touting a "smokefree by X" date that kept moving back as the dates came closer.
Yes to both, it has unfortunately led to an increase in crime, because they're so readily stolen. It has definitely led to a decrease in smoking as well, as a lot of smokers quit for financial reasons.
It's perfectly legal to grow your own, interestingly enough, but not many people do.

When I stopped smoking more than 10 years ago I immediately had a surplus of 300 EUR free cash per month. Two packs a day at 5 EUR per pack at that time.
Being healthier, not stinking like a wet ash tray and having more and better sex are other features of stopping smoking.

Wow that's insane, even if it's "just" about $20 in USD for the cheapest packs at $30 NZD.
