"It's not 4-5x its around $5-$6 more than it is now so its a 25% increase in price. Read the article again and you'll realise this is in Australia."Damn, I knew this issue was in Australia, but I had not realized the cost of cigarettes there. I actually tried to phrase my comments so that it fits world wide. Okay, so I made a mistake, and it wouldn't be as huge of an issue as before.Still, I think it's a pretty significant punishment for buying cigarettes. Who ever heard of a 25% price increase for something that is remains popular and bought constantly? Of course, I never lived in Australia, so I hope it's not a common thing there.
@thedatabit : go f**k yourself. i didn't attack you personally yet you chose to call me stupid. maybe one day you will realize you are wrong. until then have fun inhaling addictive toxic chemicals and being brainwashed into thinking you enjoy it.
Actually, that's not entirely true. Different research comes to different conclusions about whether low levels of alcohol are good for you. Some says yes, some no. The jury's still out.

Only if we could tax the people a little bit more, our government could work!
