    It’s crazy that the police are destroying these cigarettes and vapes because they’re banned in Australia. Why not sell them for cheap to overseas markets with full acknowledgement of where they’ve come from? Seems like that would solve their storage problems and the need to dispose of vapes.

      Sell to country X for cheap because not worried about profit, only freeing up storage

      Country X sells to black market, who sells back to Aussie market = infinite money scheme with free police laundering. GDP explodes, free darts for all.

      Or

      Country X sues the fuck out of Aus government for offloading cancer sticks to them or sued by tobacco cartels companies for stepping in on their turf
