Hanson vows to slash cigarette prices by nearly $30 a pack

One Nation says high taxes on tobacco have pushed Australians into the black market, and the only way to undo that is by cutting the price of cigarettes in half.

Packets of legal cigarettes would cost around $20 less according to a new One Nation plan to stamp out Australia’s illicit tobacco trade by slashing the current high rates of excise by 75 per cent.
