Rupert_Baehr Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 50p for 10 cigarettes? - So is that £1.00 for 20? Outrageous! They were 1s 3d for 20 when I started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJC1 Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 I know mate, the worlds gone mad. Thing is Ive never been to hospital, my health is perfect so it really bothers me that I have to pay another 100 p/year to smoke. Its getting to the point where I just dont go out as often, because this government taxes everything to death, which effects Businesses, which in turn effects the economy. Im sick of this Big brother state- im moving to Spain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davyboy Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Think how much extra you'll save if you stopped smoking. I stopped a 20 a day habit 40 years ago, so at today's prices, £5/20, I've saved the equivalent of £72,800. Well I haven't actually saved that amount, I must have spent it on other things!

anywebsite Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Spain has expensive cigarettes & an even harsher smoking ban now Morocco looks a better bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJC1 Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 o_O So going by what you said before, you smoke 20 a year? Smoke about 5 a day on average mate, some days none at all. OK some people think its a nasty habit but at the end of the day if you keep in shape, have a good diet and dont bother other people by smoking your cigarettes I dont see what the problem is. Its a personal choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
