Answer:
Explanation:
Australia has some of the world's toughest anti-smoking laws. Of course there were the world-first mandatory plain packaging laws. There's also been a steady rise in prices since 1996, an increase of some 343 percent in just over 20 years. These high costs saw a lot of Australian smokers turn to rollies, but with the 2017 Budget imposing a tax increase on roll-your-own (RYO) there's already talk of where smokers will go next.
With RYO getting expensive, growing your own is sounding more and more appealing—to smokers, and to those willing to invest in the risky trade to make a profit. As cigarette prices have risen, so has the black market trade of tobacco. "Chop chop" or illegal tobacco is being imported and grown under the government's nose.
But how easy is it to actually grow your own tobacco? And is it really worth the risk? If you're caught growing it in Australia, you're facing jail time. To find out, we asked Ron*, a tobacco farmer who's been growing for years now.
I do not know if this is what you are looking for but hope this helps..... :D
