Choccy fish ciggy substitute

Caroline Williams Reporter from Rodney Times

Hi neighbours. Brett and Julie Peachey have vowed to not sell cigarettes at their new Gull petrol station in Kaukapakapa, after seeing too many friends and locals perish as a result of smoking. How will they keep their smoker customers happy? A free chocolate fish on the way out seems to be doing the trick.
What do you think about petrol stations selling cigarettes, should all petrol stations follow suit? Do you know of any other local businesses doing something similar? Let us know in the comments.
