The horse has well and truly bolted in this case. To get people back to buying legal cigarettes again they’re going to have to both lower the price and find a way to crack down hard on the illegal market. It takes a pretty principled person to decide to pay two or three times the price to get legal cigarettes when you can walk down the road and every man and his dog will apparently sell you cheap illegal ones.

And that One Nation typically voted with them and gave their electoral preferences to them…
