I've been fantasizing about visiting or even moving to NZ because of certain liberal policies they have implemented, but if they outlaw smoking or pass other nanny state laws, I will 100% avoid them in perpetuity. Smoking or not smoking is one of the simplest expressions of individual liberty, and it is tragic how many countries are jumping on the illiberal bandwagon to take away basic physical freedoms from their citizens.
