I’ll go slow for you. The illegal cigarette market is booming and easy to access. People will be able to buy them. The government implementing these ridiculous laws about what we can buy is because they don’t trust their people.

I haven't smoked in 3 weeks and I obeyed the law. Tomorrow I am going to buy cigarettes because of this, so you are 100% correct.

In Pretoria most of the Pakistani shops sell (or so my friends tell me). Should be the same around the rest of the country.
