Jag förstår inte varför det är en sån häxjakt på snus. Kan de inte koncentrera sig på att bannlysa cancerpinnarna istället?
Precis, speciellt när deras egna forskare menar på att det skulle innebära en stor hälsofördel att rökare går över till snus, se länk

Thank you for your email.
Currently there are no restrictions on the importation of Tobacco into Australia. However when importing Tobacco into Australia as a passenger concessions will apply. Travellers are allowed to bring into Australia the following goods duty/tax free. Goods bought overseas or bought duty/tax free before leaving Australia are included when determining your duty free allowance.
• $A900 worth of goods not including tobacco or alcohol ($A450 for travellers under 18 years of age). For example, cameras, electronic equipment, leather goods, perfume concentrate, jewellery, watches, sporting goods, etc.
• 2250 ml alcoholic liquor (including wine, beer or spirits) for travellers aged 18 years and over.
•
Tobacco - 250 cigarettes, or 250 grams of cigars or tobacco products other than cigarettes, for travellers aged 18 years and over.
• Most personal items such as new clothing, footwear, articles for personal hygiene/grooming.
• Personal goods owned and used by you for at least 12 months can also be brought into Australia without payment of duty and tax (proof of date of purchase may be required).
• Personal goods do not include motor vehicles and motor vehicles parts regardless of the length of time used and owned.
Should you exceed these concessions then all of your items (items listed in your concessions) will be subject to Customs Duty and 10% GST (Goods and Services Tax).
Tobacco that is sent to Australia by postal service attracts no concessions and thus will be subject to Duty and Taxes.
The Current Duty rates for Tobacco are:
Cigars & Cigarettes less than 0.8 grams per stick- $0.25679/stick
Other Tobacco/Chewing Tobacco - $321/kg
Snuff - $321/kg
Goods & Services Tax (GST) - 10%
Oral snuff if imported in quantities greater than 1.5 kg is restricted item and needs permit.
