Many Australians still refer to it as the nanny state since this 2011 law was passed.
It severely restricts how tobacco products can be displayed in stores as well as online.
So while in Melbourne, I discovered this first hand looking for some cigar stores to discuss and evaluate. First all the cigars have to have generic labels covering the real labels, which if you are going to pay a high price for Cuban cigars, is very important to help evaluate the authenticity.
Then they have to be packaged in sacks that tell you that you are going to die if you smoke cigars.
In the states we are a far cry from this labelling, but it is probably coming.
Here is a picture of the generic labelling and sack for you.
