Wow! Is there a big black market for cigarettes in NZ? And have these prices lead to a lower consumption?

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 7 points 3 weeks ago

Yes to both, it has unfortunately led to an increase in crime, because they're so readily stolen. It has definitely led to a decrease in smoking as well, as a lot of smokers quit for financial reasons.

It's perfectly legal to grow your own, interestingly enough, but not many people do.

Growing it isn't easy. Also you need to dry them a long time.

When the filter tree grows instead of the nicotine plant you'll be looking a fool

Not really a black market for cigarettes here but you can grow your own tobacco legally if you really want to go down that road. Smoking tobacco in younger generations is very rare but vaping on the other hand is very popular. The government was touting a "smokefree by X" date that kept moving back as the dates came closer.
