The ongoing long-term health costs of Maori (and other smokers) might be
reduced by the Govt decision. If they hadn't taken these steps, and the
health bill escalated enormously you'd  have something else to moan about.
And why ping 'social bludgers' when you were standing in line for some sort
of handout? Anyway you can still start your business while you're on the
dole - that's what you wanted   (the end-of year- accounts sorts that out)
but why sit around now? Get going.
