Oh, if you think that's expensive for smokes, come here. Try around $15 for a pack of 40's. There's a tax of some description on them (I think there's two actually, as I'm certain GST is also applied to them).
That's the one thing that sucks about living in Australia. Everything has an effective 20% "we apply an extra charge because we want to so that we can bleed you dry" charge.
