1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 2: Cigarette price spike does it pass the pub test? To

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 2: schedule rise in the tobacco X size means cigarette prices

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 2: in Australia, already the highest in the developed world, will

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 2: jump by nearly seven percent today. So that means that

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 2: you're playing a dollar fifty extra on what cigi's are

7
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 2: costing you.

8
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 3: Now, wow, this twenty twenty eight dollars. The x scize

9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 3: is twenty eight dollars. Now it's going to be twenty nine.

10
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 4: And how much does that make a pack of cigarette?

11
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 3: It's like sixty bucks?

12
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 4: Wow? Well this is the government says that it's not

13
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 4: about the excise. The government says that this it's an

14
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 4: anti smoking policy, and maybe that is true. Does it

15
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 4: stop kids taking up smoking? But what it has triggered

16
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 4: is an explosion in the black market tobacco industry not.

17
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 3: To be to the fate market.

18
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, and therefore associated jump in violent crime. So that's

19
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 4: where we are. So cigarette price hiking does it pass

20
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 4: the pub test?

21
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't pass the pub test.

22
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 5: Personally, I don't smoke, but it's people's personal choice. I

23
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 5: think that the government just thinks the solution that every

24
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 5: problem is more taxes.

25
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: It's not I don't think it's going to work because

26
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: I've got two kids myself, and you tell them not

27
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: to do something and they'll always find a way to

28
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: do it.

29
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 5: So putting the prices up isving going to work. I

30
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 5: spoke for a long time. I only stopped about a

31
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 5: year ago, and now for that to do a surgery,

32
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 5: you just find the legal figurettes everywhere. They're just too

33
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 5: cheap not to smoke. Their price d egg will entice

34
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 5: kids to smoke. It's not going to achieve anything.

35
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 6: So I'm not a smoker. However, I believe putting the

36
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 6: tax it up for smokes, well that's great if you

37
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 6: want to blow it up and you've got the money

38
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 6: to do it, but it's not going to stop the children,

39
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 6: because they actually going to encourage the children to face

40
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 6: more or take the happy, happy smoke. I believe it's

41
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 6: a good thing for once, but a bad thing for

42
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 6: the kids.

43
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: You got bagg of chump chumping some double happies for Amanda.

44
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 4: I have no idea what you're talking about.

45
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 6: I'm sure you do
