Have I ever mentioned...leaf tobacco doesn't go bad? I'm not real big on the whole prepper movement, but Canada is tightening their whole leaf laws and the UK will end whole leaf sales around the first of the year. It's currently illegal to import and grow your own tobacco in Australia.

Hi Don
Please make sure the package looks unobtrusive so it doesn't attract attention at customs.
For your info, I priced a packet of standard rolling tobacco at the local store out of curiosity.
The price has gone sky high as the govt selectively taxes the smoking public in a bid to be a smokefree country by 2025.
A 50 gram pack is now $78.00
There has been an increase in ram raids and gas station robberies where smokes are taken rather than cash.
The primary schools are now providing food to children so they don't go through the day hungry which is likely related to the parents priorities.
Australia is much the same in its pricing plus there, it is also illegal to grow your own.
Both Oz and NZ have reduced the tax free allowance at the border for international travellers from 250g carton, down to 1x 50g pack.
Cheers
