Online Tobacco Sales in Australia: Between Health Warnings and "Cheap" Cigarettes 
 
An online service has emerged offering customers in Australia the option to buy tobacco products with home delivery. The website, which calls itself Australia Tobacconist Hub, shows a clear inconsistency: heavy promotion of budget tobacco products alongside disclaimers about the health risks of tobacco use. 
 
Available Items 
 
The platform's primary target audience is smokers looking to save money. Among the products listed are: 
 
Double Happiness (?? ??) — $190 per block (10 packets x 20's) 
Manchester Sapphire Blue (Dubai Edition) — $220 per block 
Manchester Special Edition Flow Red - Dubai Edition — $250 per block 
Manchester Blue Crush - Dubai Edition — $250 per carton 
Dunhill Blue (UK Version) — $220 per carton 
Dunhill Red - UK Edition — $190 per block 
Benson and Hedges Gold — $160 per carton 
Zhongnanhai (???) — $180 per carton 
 
The seller stresses “low costs” (Cheap Tobacco Australia) and the offering of well-known names such as Marlboro, Manchester, Bossku, Double Happiness, and others. 
 
Shipping and Billing 
 
The seller claims to offer fast, reliable, and discreet delivery across Australia (Fast Tobacco Delivery Australia). They claim to accept various payment options including bank transfer, USDT, PayPal, Wise, and more. Customer contact is conducted via WhatsApp and email — a typical approach in the unlicensed sector for online tobacco sales. 
 
Mixed Messages 
 
Curiously enough, the identical platform that sells cigarettes (while officially noting that selling to persons under 18 is illegal) also features a “STOP SMOKING” graphic with an image of lungs crossed by a cigarette. 
 
In a part named “STOP TOBACCO”, the text states: 
 
“Quitting isn't easy, but each attempt matters. Within minutes, your body starts recovering — and as time goes by, your health and energy come back. Let's start today!” 
 
This public health message is placed near a list of items for sale with prices from $160 to $250 per carton and a prompt to buy: “Purchase cigarettes online in Australia for the lowest price.” Such double messaging is common of illegal or semi-legal cigarette sellers that try to feign social responsibility while continuing to sell addictive products. 
 
Legal Risks 
 
The text fails to mention whether the seller possesses a valid Australian retail license for tobacco. Australia is known for having some of the strictest tobacco laws in the world, including plain packaging requirements and extremely high excise taxes. The promise of low-cost smokes — especially “Dubai Edition” or “UK Version” — often points to products that have evaded taxes, been brought in illegally, or are fake. 
 
Summary 
 
The website in question is a textbook example of a shadow online tobacco business. It profits from smokers’ wish for cheaper prices in the context of Australia’s high legal tobacco taxes, while hiding behind superficial “Stop Smoking” slogans and claims of customer care. Those thinking of purchasing should be aware that purchasing unregulated cigarettes carries not only the chance of legal trouble but also a total absence of any assurance regarding product safety and authenticity.
