Australia's health minister calls illicit tobacco surge—driven by high prices and crime—a top public health threat.
Australia's Health Minister Mark Butler acknowledged a severe surge in illicit tobacco, calling it the nation's top public health threat, despite rising cigarette prices due to excise hikes.
The black market, fueled by high legal prices and organized crime, has led to increased violence, arson, and declining tax revenue.
While Butler denied tax increases caused the problem, state leaders and industry groups argue the policy has enabled a multibillion-dollar illegal trade, undermining public health and safety efforts.
