Australian air quality is really relatively good, which is why many people like it. Some people think they can smoke a lot less secondhand smoke in Australia than at home, which is why they like it so much.
Take the ACT area, where 75 percent of public places are not allowed to smoke, including closed places like restaurants and cafes, according to the Anti-smoking places Act 2003 (Smoke-Free Public Places Act 2003). In 2010, outdoor restaurants were also banned from smoking. Without these secondhand smoke puzzles, the whole world is really much clearer to those who don`t like to smoke.
Where can the smokers go? We sometimes watch people hold a cigarette under the office building. Yes, the commuters are here to release themselves during their break. There are also air circulation, people are not too dense outdoor places, but also a good place to smoke.
It is understood that there is no age limit for smoking in Australia. But the law stipulates that cigarettes, tobacco and other commodities cannot be sold to young people under the age of 18. So maybe that`s why Australia`s teens likes to ask passers-by to borrow cigarettes-not old enough to sell them to me, so you can give me one for life.
In addition, it is understood that the price of cigarettes in Australia is the most expensive in the world. The average 25 cigarettes have already exceeded A $35. In September last year, Australia`s tobacco tax rose by another 17%. In other words, the cost of cigarettes per kilogram rose from A $771.6 to A $901.39. An 84mm-sized ordinary-diameter cigarette weighs about 1.05-1.18 grams. In other words, the cost of a cigarette would also be A $1. Combined with a variety of excise taxes, income taxes, and goods and services taxes, I`m afraid smoking in Australia can suck up "lost property".
How many pocket money do you usually have in teens, Australia? According to statistics from the Federal Bank of Australia, children receive an average of more than A $509 of pocket money. During their holidays.
But in this age group, there is usually school (leaving school for the time being). If you work 10 hours a week for A $35 a pack of cigarettes, you can only get two packs of cigarettes. And fast-food workers are so mobile that they can`t be sure he has a stable enough source of income.
A heavy day can smoke three or four packets, a small cigarette can smoke a few days. Well, let`s figure out how painful they are-
The income of adults is all right. The chart below shows the Australian Bureau of Statistics (Australian Bureau of Statistics, ABS) according to Australia`s different age groups of income statistics. Suppose a pack of cigarettes is A $35, taking an Australian under 20 for example, with an average monthly salary of A $1850, equivalent to 52 packs of cigarettes.
But one can`t live on smoking alone. So Australia`s teens likes to ask people to borrow cigarettes on the side of the road for a second reason-it`s too expensive to buy any more. Please give me a breath.
Australian shops open late and leave work earlier. Monday to Friday is usually open from 10:00 to 5 p.m. Saturday is a little longer, usually from 09:30 to 6 p.m. Sundays are usually from 12:00 to 56: 00 p.m. If you get up late in the morning, or if you have to go to work, you have very little time to buy cigarettes.
And there are not too many places to sell cigarettes in Australia. The results of searching for smoke shop, in Google map are not many (at least the red dots of the results are not dense). So maybe that`s why Australia`s teens likes to ask people to borrow cigarettes-there`s no time to buy them. Please give me one for life.
But to be honest, Australia is doing a good job of getting Australians to quit smoking. They surveyed 41000 teenagers in Victoria, Western Australia and Queensland between 1999 and 2015, according to the (Deakin University) study at Deacon University, and found that 70 percent of teenagers sneered at alcohol and tobacco culture. Many teenagers have never touched alcohol or tobacco at all.
So if someone asks you to borrow a cigarette on the way, how do you say no? First of all, don`t be afraid. They ask you to borrow cigarettes on the way, just as they ask you the way on the way, saying that they are asking for something for you. It is normal for you to choose to reject them. And you bought the cigarette, and from the legal point of view, you have the right to determine the direction of the cigarette, so there is no need to empty.
Second, if you want to graciously reject others, just say, this is your last cigarette (last one), and then smile at each other, all right. Normal people go straight away. After all, we are all smokers, to renew their lives, will not worry about.
Some people may ask if you can buy your cigarette. There is no standard answer to this question here. The editor feels that this is the same truth as whether you agree to lend cigarettes to others, but it is only possible that more people will agree. If the other person asks such a question, at least he has a relatively friendly mind to ask, so even if you refuse the other person, they should not have the "mentality explosion" problem.
But for the sake of health, the editor suggests that we should smoke less, drink less, eat less snacks and sleep more. If someone on the way asks you to borrow cigarettes, no matter what they say or do, or to protect their personal safety.
