Description

After 91 years of cigarettes being made just north of Wellington, Imperial Tobacco is calling it quits. It's planning to close its Petone factory which will cost 122 people their jobs. Imperial's Kirsten Daggar-Nickson says people aren't smoking cigarettes like they used to. The factory has been in Petone since 1929, and was originally owned by British American Tobacco until Imperial took over in 1999. Hutt City Mayor Campbell Barry speaks to Corin Dann about the closure.
