Who doesnt know someone in the market for a bit of chop, chop. Its just a bit of tax evasion, fair game they say.

'It has been illegal to grow tobacco in Australia for more than a decade, with the offence carrying a maximum penalty of up to 10 years imprisonment.'

Should be illegal to tax what the fat bald campaigners do for them. Period.

Interesting. Seems the big money these days at the bottom level (tobacconists etc) is more in flinging disposable vapes than chop chop though. Walk into any of them and they all more or less have them on open display. Massive profit margins. Buy in big bulk for about 5-6 bucks a piece and sell for 25-30.
