Man, NZ sucks - I thought it was supposed to be a nice place to
visit/live. :)  And yes, I'd still think that there's no reason to
intentionally make things worse for yourself by smoking - unless the
cool kids are also doing it.  Visit any smog-filled large American
city and you're sure to see a "stop-smoking" billboard somewhere.
Heck, go to southern CA and you'll periodically get the earthquakes to
go with the semi-toxic air.
