Drug Bust Australia

A packet of 20 cigarettes in Australia is $25. 50% of that is tax for the government.





It going to rise more. It is supposed to be a deterrent to smoking but all it's done has been to increase petty crime.

When I quit smoking, I was paying about $100 for a carton of 200 cigarettes. That's 12.50 for a pack of 25 smokes. They cost more in other provinces. And the price has gone up quite a bit since then.

I heard $22 per pack in Alberta..



I don't know the brand or any brand for that matter.

Really. All generic. I have never heard of that.



If Australia truly wants everyone to quit smoking, just ban cigarette production and sales and forego the tax revenue. Let the black market pick up the slack. Something tells me they are not that serious about ending smoking.

tsk... watch that video I put on... It's an historical and advant-garde approach and Australia took on the tobacco industry and WON.

Baby steps, I think.



30 years ago, if people had suggested smoking would be banned in pubs, bars and public events they would have been laughed at.



Yet it is now banned from ALL public places, and Melbourne is trialling "smoking zones" in the city area which will be the ONLY place smokers can light up. Needless to say they are well away from major thoroughfares and rather inhospitable.



I suspect that within 10 years, cigarettes will indeed be banned from Australia.

And of course, these tobacco companies are American.



If you can't solve a problem with a gun, hire a lawyer.

But, smoking won't stop in ten years or even twenty five years.

Smoking is a cash cow for provinces and the feds. Australia is no different. They know it won't go away if they ban cigarette sales. But the billions in revenue will be.
