Smoke Zone Tobacconist in Fitzroy, Victoria is your typical neighborhood smoke shop with a bit of personality thrown in. Located on Smith Street, this place has built up quite a reputation for its extensive range of cigarettes and smoking accessories.

Price-wise, they seem to be hitting the right notes. We’ve heard from quite a few regulars that their prices are competitive, which is always good news for your wallet. One visitor even called it a “real life saver” when it comes to value for money. Though it’s worth noting that like any shop, you might want to keep your receipts just in case.

They’re pretty generous with their trading hours, which is handy if you’re a night owl. The doors are open from 10:30 AM to 8:30 PM Monday through Wednesday, and they stay open until midnight Thursday through Saturday. Sundays are a bit shorter, running from 1 PM to 6 PM. Just a heads up though – we’ve heard from a few people that the actual opening hours can sometimes be a bit unpredictable, so maybe give them a bell before making a special trip.

The shop accepts all the usual payment methods – EFTPOS, cards, and cash are all good to go. It’s a straightforward setup really, the kind of place where you can duck in, grab what you need, and be on your way. Just remember to check your purchases before leaving, as some customers have mentioned quality concerns with certain products.
