QANTAS flies into smoking stormEMMA ALBERICI: Times are tough at QANTAS. Record oil prices and a long running pay dispute with the airline's engineers has the airline talking up the prospect of further job cuts.To make matters worse, the flying kangaroo has now raised the ire of the Federal Government and public health experts by resuming, after a nine year gap, its sales of duty free cigarettes.The airline says it's only responding to consumer demand.Simon Santow reports.SIMON SANTOW: QANTAS has never been shy of selling itself Whether it's on the jerseys of Australia's national Rugby Union team, the Wallabies, or in expensively made advertisements.(Excerpt from QANTAS advertisement, children singing I Still Call Australia Home.)The national carrier though has gone a little silent on its latest move to undo a commitment it made to public health in 1999. Back then the airline chose to stop selling duty free cigarettes on board.Now, coincidence or otherwise, it plans to resume sales at a time when a former high ranking executive at British American Tobacco has joined the QANTAS Board.Fiona Sharkie is the Executive Director of Quit Victoria.FIONA SHARKIE: This seems an incredibly retrograde step, to go back on that decision.SIMON SANTOW: When they decided to do this, did they make a big fuss about what they were doing?FIONA SHARKIE: I'm not sure back in 99, but it was certainly a very strong signal of support for all the good work that, Australia was leading tobacco control in those days and remains so, and it was a tremendous sign of support by QANTAS to be doing the same.SIMON SANTOW: While obviously it is a legal product, why it is a problem for QANTAS, in your mind, to be selling cigarettes?FIONA SHARKIE: Well one of the main interventions in tobacco control that we know is the most effective in reducing smoking rates is by increasing the price of cigarettes.We've now had research over 10 years that shows us that increasing the price of cigarettes through tax brings smoking rates down more than anything else.SIMON SANTOW: The anti smoking lobby is not alone in being upset at QANTAS' decision.

As we pulled into the parking lot which led to our warehouse, Katie exited our truck and opened the doors as I backed up to the door. Our crushing and de stemming machine shined brightly as if waiting proudly for our return to empty our grapes into its red and silver mouth, ready to spit out the juice of our labor. As I unloaded the boxes, Katie stood beside me, in her torn jeans and apron, crowbar in hand, ready to tear open the pretty boxes labeled in different colors.. cheap nfl jerseys
