Wow. I'm not a smoker so I didn't realise how cheap it was overseas. Accorfing to numbeo a pack of 20 Marlborough Reds costs about $30 US (according to my smoker friends it's about $50 AU depending on where you go). It's created a very lucrative black market in tobacco.

Here in the USA there’s been a lucrative cigarette black market for years thanks to states taxing them differently.

Folks going to Virginia from DC / MD would often take orders from friends.

Thank god I don’t smoke anymore.
