There is no argument to be found here, clearly tobacco products should be made illegal in Australia, what i was stunned by though was that Alcohol has a similar financial and health burden on the Australian community and other illicit drugs ran a close third, i think it's time for a mature Australia to consider perhaps by referendum what is and what is not acceptable to the Australian community.
