Tobacco price is ridiculous

Last year the average price of my 50g tobacco went from $53 AUD to $77 AUD. Government is talking about it but their goal to increase it even more. The price of tobacco to me means i can't buy anything extra from my local store, my customers who smoke don't have any extra cash to employ my services more, and all that money being spent goes directly to government who are notorious for wasting it.

We are not allowed to grow our own without all the chemicals. I don't smoke any less. Non smokers don't have a problem with it even while pigging out on fatty foods and chocolates themselves.

Am I the only one annoyed by this?
