Lodge, Nevile Sidney, 1918-1989:The Minister of Health wants April 8 to be a national smoke-free day to support world health day's drive against smoking. Evening Post. 1980.

There are three scenes in this cartoon. In the top right some men and a woman are walking along twisting their arms and hands into contortions. One man is saying he never knows what to do with his hands when he doesn't smoke. In the lower left Jim Bolger, the Minister of Labour, is sitting with his hand over his face. In his other hand he is holding a newspaper with the headline 'Kinleith shutdown unions vote to stop mill smoking on April 8'. This is a reference to the strikes in early 1980 at the Kinleith pulp and paper mill. In the lower right Muldoon is reading a memo on the smoke free day fron George Gair, the Minister of Health. Muldoon is proclaiming that he's not going 'to stop smoking-out reds for even one day" - a reference to his dislike of socialist and communists.

Extended Title - This could mean a lot of disgruntled people
