Australia is the most expensive place in the world for cigarettes so... The latter. But they won't ban it because it makes the govt. so much money.

Didn't they ban it for the younger gen?

That's NZ, not AU, but the ban got repealed

Edit: didn't realize the online seller is based in NZ

Repealed because a hard right wing government got in and removed it to pay for tax cuts for the rich.
