Mötley Crüe rocker Tommy Lee rages about the shocking cost of an item in Australia compared to the rest of the world – and shares scandalous 7-Eleven coupon

Tommy Lee slammed the shockingly high cost of cigarettes in Australia in a blistering Instagram post on Sunday.

The 61-year-old Mötley Crüe drummer, who is currently touring the country, couldn’t believe how much a pack of Marlboro Gold 25s from 7-Eleven cost compared to the rest of the world, and slammed the country’s massive tobacco taxes.

Tommy was outraged when he was charged a hefty $251.96 for four packs of cigarettes and shared the stunning receipt on Instagram.

“$251.96 for 4 packs of smoke here in Melbourne,” he wrote alongside two bird flipping emojis.

He then took aim at 7-Eleven’s “Wonderfully Easier” slogan, writing instead, “7/11 wonderfully cheesier!”

Tommy paid $62.99 per pack, which is expensive even by Australian standards where the average pack costs $40.

According to website Statisticala pack of Marlboro 20s costs about $9 in the United States (about AUD$15).

The Australian government’s tobacco taxes are among the highest in the world as it looks set to eradicate smoking completely.

Tommy was outraged when he was charged a hefty $251.96 for four packs of cigarettes and shared the incredible receipt on Instagram.

In the short term, the government wants to reduce the number of daily smokers to less than 10 percent of the population by 2025.

The goal is to be below five percent by 2030.

Some of Tommy’s fans didn’t understand the enormous costs.

“Wow,” one fan wrote in disbelief. ‘

Jeeez,” another added. “Yes,” wrote another.

Tommy spoke to Bill Maher on the Club Random podcast in October, where he discussed his past drinking.

“Alcohol is so fucking weird because… f**k! It’s just – it’s easy to fall in love with the way you feel, the way you relax, and then suddenly you’re like, ‘F**k! I drink two liters of vodka a day?’ This isn’t… You’re trying to kill yourself right now.”

When Maher expressed disbelief at the amount of alcohol, Tommy replied, “Yes. Two liters of shit. I swear to God – dude, I swear to God.”

Fortunately, he said he avoided any damage from long-term heavy drinking, and was recently given a clean bill of health from a doctor.

“I can’t believe… I pinch myself every day,” the drummer said.

‘I just did the full body scan, wherever they do it, from head to toe, and I can’t believe it – smoking, drinking, all those bloody stupid things, or those fun things I did.’

“Dude, the doctor said, ‘You’re doing fine.’”

Lee had developed something of a reputation for his partying style in the 80s and 90s. Seen on stage in 1998
