Holy smokes!

You thought cigarettes were getting expensive in Australia? Well, that ain’t nothing compared to what they’re charging in the States. Talk about Obi raising taxes!

A US man says he swiped his debit card at a service station to buy a packet of cigarettes and was charged over $US23 quadrillion dollars.

And in other smokey news, no wonder California lets people smoke marijuana under certain circumstances. Now one lawmaker wants to legalise and tax it so the state could rake in an extra US$1.4 billion. Guess which party.
