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.

Poll: Is it time to raise New Zealand's superannuation age?

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

Outgoing Retirement Commissioner Diane Maxwell has been outspoken about the need to increase the pension age from 65.

"You used to get super for five years, then 10 and now 20 - soon it'll be 30. I'm not sure how we can fund people getting super for 30 years or more."

Outgoing Retirement Commissioner Diane Maxwell has been outspoken about the need to increase the pension age from 65.

"You used to get super for five years, then 10 and now 20 - soon it'll be 30. I'm not sure how we can fund people getting super for 30 years or more."

New Zealand has one of the simplest pension schemes in the world - all you have to do is be old enough and have lived in the country long enough and you can get it.

But that also makes it expensive - about $14.5 billion this year. Jobseeker benefits, by comparison, cost just $1.7b and sole parent support $1.08b.
