Just curious..


Recommended Posts

I have no idea how much cigarettes cost but there is huge tax in UK.  All you smokers just keep on keeping on because you're helping pay for my pension :classic_unsure:

What do you all pay for a pack of cigarettes...here it's 30 buck tax in for a carton...8 packs.

 Currently a pack of Winnie Blue 30s cost about $50, which will increase to $57.50 under the new tax, I stopped when they got to $10, used the money to buy this.

Regular price is around 30 per pack...these are totally illegal their from the native reserve ...natives sell them without tax has they get them without paying tax...

  I'm not a heavy smoker...a pack will last me a week...one with the morning  coffee and one or two after work...but I would definitely not pay 30 bucks for a pack if I couldn't get them at discount price..

How do the natives get them without paying tax ?  are they they genuine or knock offs ?

I remember when my friends in university declared in an outrage that they'd quit smoking if ever a pack were to reach 2,5€. Now they go for around 5€ depending of brand and I don't think anyone quit on account of that. It's surely a nice earner for the state but then again it's also the state that cares for cancer patients.

I was never a smoker except when really drunk or a period when I enjoyed Cohiba cigarillos, also mainly when drinking :classic_laugh:. There's something about smoking that sometimes suits the moment, gives you something to do when on a rest from the bike admiring a scenery I guess.
