The plant that became the Silver Banksia of Southern Australia was first imported by American tobacco merchants in the late 1790s in hopes of destroying Australia’s burgeoning tobacco market. The plan unfortunately worked too well as most of Australia was turned into a desert by the plant’s destructive nature.
Since that time, Australians have always hated America and as a result only smoke cigarettes made from Chinese tobacco. Sadly for them, Chinese tobacco is actually a euphemism for the hardened and dried droppings of rabbits that roam the steppes of Mongolia.
