There's an article on the abc about how black market cigs and vapes are a huge market now.

Gee. I fucking wonder why.

2 years ago, in their infinite wisdom, the government decided to shut down all the legal vape stores. The ones where you had to show ID to be served. Where they didn't sell nicotine.

And now, not only has the government's tobacco tax returned a quarter of what it did 2 years ago, but they're bleeding money combating organised crime around black market tobacco and vapes.

These fucking people.
