Although the poster dairy for a national smokefree campaign has reverted to selling cigarettes, other Palmerston North dairies are quietly continuing to kick smokes to the curb. Moshim's​ Discount House, on the corner of College and Ada streets, stopped selling cigarettes for more than seven years and was last year used in a Smokefree New Zealand campaign for World Smokefree Day. Nine other Palmerston North dairies are still making ends meet without cigarettes. Dutt said he wasn't a smoker and he supported campaigns such as World Smokefree Day, because he saw the health benefits of reducing the number of places selling tobacco. Moshim's was the only formerly smokefree dairy to start selling cigarettes again in the past year, Davies said.
