this man sells cigarettes. why his method has raised eyebrows.

A Dunedin man who sold a single cigarette online has caused outrage from a tobacco researcher, but a member of parliament said his reasoning was \"absolutely right \".
The man, who asked not to be named, said he knew his actions were illegal, but he was helping to reduce them.
The income crowd who cannot buy 20 packs of cigarettes at a time is the minimum amount required by law.
He also proved it reasonable to sell the cigarettes for $1.
40 each because it can also help stop tobacco

\"If I can stop someone from smoking, they will rob dairy products and so on for them, and I \'d rather stop it.
\"I do what I have to do to take care-
Because our government has a crazy tax on smoking.
In a post by the Dunedin buying and selling group, he claimed that the Middleton Road food center in colestopine had \"stopped\" selling loose cigarettes, and he planned to continue operating where the store was closed.
A store manager said the previous boss sold only one cigarette, but now the boss stopped this practice after taking over the store a few months ago.
The price of men\'s cigarettes is equivalent to $20 and $28 per pack, which is more expensive than many packs found in yesterday\'s ODT price survey.
Janet Hook, a smoke-free policy expert at the Public Health Department at the University of Otago, said the man\'s reasons for selling single cigarettes were full of inconsistency.
\"The whole purpose of making tobacco more expensive is to try to reduce the number of young people who smoke.
\"If someone comes in and starts selling loose cigarettes to people, then that is a complete violation of that reason.
The man\'s argument, Hoek said, is that he tried to prevent the dairy farm from being robbed by selling personal cigarettes, which, in plain terms, is called \"look\", which is \"very disgraceful

New Zealand\'s Act leader and Epsom MP David Seymour said that while he did not \"support people for breaking the law\", he could understand the man\'s reasons for selling a single cigarette.
His actual reasoning is absolutely correct.
He said that the emergence of the black market of cigarettes is the natural result of the annual 10% increase in cigarette prices that began last year, with the aim of making New Zealand smokefree by 2025.
Tobacco prices have doubled since 2010, but by 2015, smoking rates nationwide had fallen by only 1% to 15% --16, he said.
\"The remaining 15% of those who smoke, their choice is to pay twice as much or buy it on the black market.
\"If they pay twice as much money, in many cases they take food from the children\'s table.
However, data from the Ministry of Health show that the total number of adults smoking has dropped by 20% since 2006 --07.
As far as smoking is concerned, total tobacco consumption has declined by an average of 6.
3% per year from 2010 to 2014.
