Smoking rates in NZ have reduced markedly and this is one of the many actions we've taken as a nation to get the numbers down. I'd think it has an effect thou probably more on reducing uptake

I think it's probably the rising cost and the increased outcast status of smokers that has had the biggest impact. That and vaping being an outstanding cessation method. It's really inconvenient being a smoker now.

Sure. But you said "zero impact".

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I also said "probably". Who got who now? Gotcha!
