The article concludes:
"Costello led government moves to scrap laws slashing tobacco
retailers from 6000 to 600, removing 95 percent of the nicotine from
cigarettes and creating a smokefree generation by banning sales to
those born after 2009.

Costello's office sent a document to the Health Ministry proposing
ideas to help develop new laws to replace Labour's smokefree plans.

The document included the idea of freezing the excise tax and also the
claim that nicotine was no more harmful than caffeine.

But Costello still maintains she does not know where the document came
from.

In an interview on Newstalk ZB, Costello said the document was an
"extraction of a whole lot of historical documents - it was sitting
around and [someone] just compiled them all into one big list". She
didn't know who wrote the document, she said. "I'm not sure who put it
on my desk." "

NZ First - dishonesty is becoming a tradition, but National and ACT
will now say a word . . .
