How the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted cigarette smoking rates in the Bay

The number of people who smoke cigarettes in the Bay of Plenty is still decreasing but a doctor says the Covid-19 pandemic has acted as a handbrake. It comes after the revelation more than a quarter of the 500,000 Kiwis who smoke said their cigarette intake increased during alert level 4 last year.
Tauranga s Fifth Avenue Family Practice had 1.2 per cent of the practice s entire clientele give up smoking in the year to March 2020, with 727 then-current smokers.
In the 12 months since, the total number of smokers has dropped 719, a reduction of 0.3 per cent.
But one clumsy albatross might have just ruined this illusion.
In a live stream shared online, a northern royal albatross in New Zealand managed to face-plant spectacularly upon landing and the animal s uncoordinated descent has brought joy to thousands of viewers.
The video, captured Saturday at Taiaroa Head near the city of Dunedin on New Zealand s South Island, shows a downy six-week-old albatross chick chirping at an incoming adult, who is trying to time its landing.
Unfortunately the bird fails spectacularly, crashing headfirst and somersaulting forward into the long grass. Upside down, it pedals its legs furiously in the air for a few moments before recovering and bashfully walking out of frame.
