I've suggested something similar to your baccy embargo but to go one step further. Sell the whole lot, every last cig and flake of tobacco that would have been shipped to Australia, in Indonesia and PNG instead. The baccy companies could sell it much cheaper for the same margins there and a lot of it will then end up coming to Australia anyway, and if the current prices of chop-chop tobacco are any guide it'll sell for less per packet than the $16 plus people have to pay in the shops now. Everybody wins except the federal and state governments who'll lose about ten billion dollars a year between them. But since it's their policies behind it all, fuck 'em.Angry Exilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02491082312193274360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-83838556638841901322011-10-28T17:14:25.401+01:002011-10-28T17:14:25.401+01:00"Some stone age clown with a dead Wallaby wra..."Some stone age clown with a dead Wallaby wrapped round his neck doing some sort of hop skip and jump routine."<br /><br />bloody brilliant! :-)Dr Evilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00176521760477086914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-7692142710186592112011-10-28T17:11:31.277+01:002011-10-28T17:11:31.277+01:00Why don't they just ban tobacco and have done ...Why don't they just ban tobacco and have done with it?

Now, on an international level, it's WHO trying to force a similar regime of punitive taxation and the national politicians are so dumb, blind and stupid, they thought they'd be doing it to save the children and all that good stuff, but in reality it's just outright extortion. Time to definance WHO altogether along with UN and send the whole bunch packing. Blow up the UN building in NYC and let the corrupt anti-tobacco thieves conspire somewhere else, using their own money to do so, not ours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-65218761547009987702011-10-28T03:50:25.478+01:002011-10-28T03:50:25.478+01:00'Hung by their own petard' comes to mind. ...'Hung by their own petard' comes to mind. <br />If the intellectual prowess of Australians is reflected by their soaps Home and Away and Neighbours, expect it to take an awful long time before any of them ask why their tax monies are being used to persecute themselves. <br />The idiots do not seem to understand that continuous hikes in taxes will eventually have the desired effect - that is, that no one will pay the taxes any more because they will transfer their tobacco consumption to some other substance, and the same sort of effect will occur as has happened with drugs - a proliferation of various 'highs' of one sort or another.<br />If the tobacco companies had any courage, they would take the bull by the horns and announce publicly that they have had enough and that the were withdrawing all 'official' tobacco sales from Australia - end of tobacco taxes. <br />Would Australian smokers therefore cease smoking? NO! They would smoke something other than tobacco. NICOTINE IS NOT ADDICTIVE! It is not beyond the wit of man to find a way to create a pleasant smoke from some other plant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
