And while we're on insurance ...

...figures released ..... yesterday by the Ministry of Health showing Maori women have the highest smoking prevalence (49.3 per cent) followed by Maori men (41.5 per cent).

Hone Harawira thinks "This is a war against people who kill New Zealanders ......"
Eighty per cent of smokers wanted to quit, Mr Harawira said "And 80 per cent of the other 20 per cent want to quit too ... they just don't want to admit it."

Reducing the stats is as simple as making sure the health related costs of this shocking statistic are paid by those who choose to smoke not the rest of us.
