So this is an absolutely great article and one that is very poignant right now as vaping starts to become popular within Australia. The Australian public is confused – Why is it ok to sell tobacco but against the law to sell nicotine e-liquid through retail channels? Here might be the answer.
It gives a very clear indication of revenue made through tobacco sales and actual tangible costs to the government health system (those that are documentable). This makes for very interesting reading – it appears to be only $1.84 bn, a very small amount of money compared to the $8.85 bn the government is set to make from taxing cigarettes in 2013.
The Australian website doesn’t let you read the full article without being a subscriber but you can read the piece by typing in ‘A numbers game of blowing smoke’ into Google. From there you can read the article.
