Until the Australian Govt outlaws smoking QF is not breaking any laws selling duty free cigarettes on board. They are not forcing them on non smokers and smoking them on board is not allowed so just how the **** is this the business of the nanny anti smoking lobby?

Do you know why smoking will never be banned in Australia?

Because of the enormous tax revenue it generates. Roughly $10 of every packet sold is TAX. Smokers are subsidising non smokers in the health system.
