Not that obviously, the article cites data from Canada. The research states:
There is strong evidence that reduction of tobacco taxes to combat smuggling had an adverse impact on smoking rates in youth.
Given how many articles I see popping up on sky about this and that most of this BS seems to come from Pauline, pretty sure we can chalk this policy discussion up to the tobacco industry.

LOL. I agree that Hanson’s position does sound like she’s got tobacco lobbyists up her ass. God she’s trashy.
That said, that doesn’t really contradict what I’ve said, both can be true.

That might be fair. Could argue that banning like the UK did or funding a way to crackdown on the black market might be better.
It isn’t really clear from the article if increases are still reducing numbers or not (even if it’s at a reduced rate).
