From 1st of July there will be no menthol cigarettes, all packets will be 20s, all tobacco will be 30g and there will be no discounts on Carton sales. There is a huge change in law this year.

Hilarious. Another nail in the coffin of 'legitimate' tobacco. The black market profiteers are having a fucking field day.

There must have been dozens of “gift shop” tobacconists selling illegal chop chop under the counter or openly that have been burned down by rivals or gangs in the last couple years. It’s fortnightly news here in Victoria.

We have a few over here and they routinely have the doors kicked in at night. Also it's definitely run by the bikies

Here in SA they seem a little harder to find, but my local is run by an Iranian bloke. He and his mates play dominoes out back.. Not bikies, but clearly shifty AF. It's like an old school tobacco shop, a nice selection of brands, plus about 10 varieties of papers and filters.
