I was just told a carton of cigarettes is around A $500 in Australia. Has anyone, or is it possible to take ? carton [s] bought in Cambodia not from a duty free shop.

Yes but I think Oz customs will only allow you to take something like 50 cigarettes into the country.

I seem to remember in my earlier years you could take 2 cartons, but as times have changed it explains why other items are now taken as '' gifts''.

Two cartons equals 200 ciggies or 200 gr. That's pretty generous, but 25.....

The EU allows one carton (100 PC's) or 100 grams per adult person if I recall well.

EU alows 200 cigartes (one carton) from outside EU, and 800 or 4 cartons inner EU !!
But strangly I never ever get checked when coming back from Cambodia, not in AMS, BRU, CDG, DUS. Every time i go back i get more and more pressure to fill up my handluggage at least with 10 dollar LMs sold on the street in Daun Penh. In France its now around 120 euros or 130 U$ for a carton !!

That stuff is lethal and should be dealt with in the same way as heroin and fentanyl. Of course that will never happen, but they could make $5,000 a carton instead of $500, and let the price increase by $500 more each year as time goes on.

The reason they don''t do so is that it's better to sell taxed ciggies to bankroll the government under the guise of "public health levies" than it is to have the 251 billion dollar industry pushed to the grey and black economy

Even the 3000r packs here have a HEFTY tax on them - it's just that in the UK, US, Aus, NZ etc they have taken it to the enormous extreme where there's about 35/40x the cost of your packet of cigarettes in the tax which is why a 0.35c packet of Marlboro costs $20+ in these countries

This money is nominally supposed to go toward subsidizing smoking related illnesses treatment and prevention, but of course that doesn't happen in an effective manner and the money gets siphoned to govt cronies and allies by various means

All excellent points, make the price too high or even make it an illegal drug and then there's plenty of incentive for a whole new industry of indoor growing or outdoor growing if the climate permits it. But cigarettes aren't really the tobacco of yesteryear. Watch a documentary or two on it and they manipulate not just the nicotine content, but host of other chemicals, all with some level of toxicity. These people are of the same "ilk" that engineered the oxycontin/heroin/fentanyl epidemic. There's no end to these people I guess, money talks, BS walks.
