Benson &amp; Hedges is an imported cigarette brand, and adults aged 18 and over can legally buy it in Australia through licensed online retailers such as Soulssky.

Benson &amp; Hedges cigarettes are not banned in Australia. The brand is part of the international Benson &amp; Hedges family and is imported for sale here under the same legal framework that applies to every other imported cigarette brand. The main rules to understand are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Age restriction:<\/strong> you must be 18 or older to buy tobacco in Australia, including online.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plain packaging:<\/strong> all tobacco sold in Australia must be in standardised packaging with graphic health warnings.
