The greed and irresponsibility of the Australian government taxing legal cigarettes to such an exorbitant extent is the sole reason the black-market tobacco trade is flourishing and in effect so highly fought overtang.
I’ve said it before, the mastermind of all this, was Roz Kelly, a labor politician who famously said if people won’t give up smoking, then we’ll tax them out of smoking! Dumb political idiots, who only had to see how well the Americans did with a prohibition on alcohol, it only made criminals richer and the punters still got their booze!

@ well aren’t you the smart one! English Teacher perhaps? It was a politician and not a smart one at that, in this particular instance. There was no need in the first place for you to correct me or anyone else in these comments. It’s irrelevant who in fact said it, there’s no prizes for a correct answer here. Now get back to marking scores for the kids.
Government greed providing situations for middle eastern organised crime to make bank whilst the average Aussie who wants to punch a few darts gets reamed up the clacker via tax . Standard situation
@@Leosarebetteryou can’t deport them to a country of their choice you clown. they’re already in another country dealing in Australia. Another stupid Australian who thinks deportation actually helps. Your government doesn’t want to solve the problem so they’ll happily send it to another place. these pricks don’t know what living a legal life is like so what do you expect them to do when they arrive in a new country? Fark mate I could go on and on about how stupid your comment is
@@smolgok384 not where I’m from a packet of cigarettes costa as much as a quarter and I can last a lot longer with the Q than I can with a packet seems as though you either smoke too much or weed is expensive where you’re at 🤷🏻♂ or you’re not in Australia 🤷🏻♂
It was 44 cents for 20 benson and hedges when I started smoking, people used to say if it gets $1 a pack I’m giving up. Should only be available at the chemist at cost to registered nicotine addicts. Durries are more expensive than a beginners heroin addiction.
There is nicotine products at chemists. Even those have gone through the roof. Charging 60 bucks for a pack of smokes, what did they think would happen
@@doncinata5861 I know the ad he's talking about and it's fake, some random middle eastern looking guy pretending to cry and ask for money. Should be illegal.

Government created this drama, simply DROP the tax and its no longer lucrative
It was done to bring in harsher laws
Got to hand it to the Australian government, managing to turn tobacco into a black market commodity was a genius move. -S
more damage to the health system and tax payer money if there are more smokers. Hard to win.
Goto fill up the prisons somehow 🤷🏼♂️

This is all an outcome of extreme tobacco taxation.
Or mass immigration
Diversity is your greatest strength

Mass taxation with mass immigration

It was actually Nicola Roxon.
Her father died of cancer and that was her incentive to try and eliminate smoking.
@ no it was Roz during her whiteboard faze! I saw her say it.

It’s way cheaper having a weed habit than buying cigarettes the government should let that one sink in…Ridiculous
