Excise duty creeps, and fast - not only tobacco - soon no tourists will come to Australia - can't even drink outside in a restaurant.
It's embarrassing for me. Europeans can't even have a glass of wine outside in comfort.
Bought a $30.00 Cuban for my Brother in Law recently - came in a plastic bag where a picture was implying the consumer was going to get a stroke by smoking it....obviously I've looked after it and packaged it differently but really.
Australia is one of the most conservative countries in the world.
No longer lucky IMO - just crazily taxed and stupidly expensive with an exploding population.
