A pack of imported cigarettes.
Walk through the bustling streets of Sydney’s Chinatown and you’ll notice coloured cigarette packaging littering the ground. Although they’re common to this area, they’re a rare sight in Australia since the government introduced across-the-board plain packaging in December 2012.
On a recent afternoon, I found myself sitting next to a lone young man at a café toying with a metallic blue cigarette packet. I asked where he got it from and he replied, “I got it from a convenience store in Chinatown, you can get it from any one of them.”
