    Not sure if you guys saw this or heard, but this is what has just happened back in my home country!
    The Australian government is to increase taxes on tobacco, raising A$5.3bn ($4.7bn; £3.1bn) as it seeks to offset a revenue shortfall.

    Hope this never happens here!

    The trouble is they will get problems with fake cigs etc. Also they may see an increase in people importing illegally etc!

            Advance Australia Fares!
            (who gets that? )

            But seriously, what the hell is with the Aussies and New Z with getting serious with tobacco? Is a movement just taking over and shitting over it all?

              Ahh that old nutshell. Encourage people to stop smoking and the tax revenue drops, so to balance that drop increase the tax, which encourages more people to stop, which ........ And so on.
