Cigarette Prices
- Thread starter richthomuk
- Start date
I noticed the price hike recently despite having been "clean" for 5 months. However if they price smokers out of the market as much as they'll save on the NHS they'll need to get that tax back from somewhere. I imagine fuel as that's always going up but rarely coming down.
When I started smoking it was around £5 for a pack of 20 (2 years ago) now its £7.80 for the same I used to smoke. Quite an increase.
I haven't yet hit the militant stage of quitting smoking. Dirty habit but I still found it somewhat enjoyable.

Bit like the born again christian types I suppose they develop an "OMG!!!! I've seen the light!!!!!!!!!1111111!!11!! why you no see it too!?" mentality.
Me either. Sure maybe a loved one, friend or family member you can have a go. but...

To be fair Malboro is the most expensive brand over here. Smoke something cheaper maybe?

Is there even a big difference between brands? What are the "best" tasting cigs? ( if there is any lol)
Marlboro Red imo, but I could feel myself turning into a glowie with each drag.
Oh god yes...
Cheaper ones are foul. I used to smoke Marlboro then moved to Golden Virginia

dont smoke silk air awwww
glowie?
Urban Dictionary: "very hot female"
turning into a glowie = dying, like in Star Wars when Jedi die and turn into a glowing blue ghost.

I work in a corner shop and constantly think to myself how one can be so different to another. And you know when the pot heads come in and buy Raw papers or king size rizlas and cutters choice

Price was never an issue for me, I naturally assume these days everyone has a bloke that can get them cheap bacci/ fags.
I was paying £7 for 50g of golden virginia, and I could get drum for £5 for 50g (a few months ago when I still smoked)
Not a fan of the straight cigarettes, roll ups were always much nicer to smoke.
When I did smoke straights, many years ago, I was an embassy man, sometimes benson hedges gold, and for a while when they sold them, B&H black.
Although I'm guessing they stopped blacks, you could really taste the cancer in those badboys.
If I ran out of cigarettes at work I'd never bother asking for one because people smoked cheap brands, I'd rather go without than smoke a windsor blue or an L&B, yuck.

Man up and get some Rothmans in ye! That will tar you up a bit faster. You can feel the burn cleansing your throat with fire!
Or, you can vape for a few quid a month (unless you get caught up in all the enthusiast mods
). Just putting it out there......... *walks away from thread*
Can see them going way up soon, government must be losing tons of money.
Out of 7 at work smoking at the start of 2013 only 1 left who does. Its about half and half between giving up and those on e-cigs.
Even out and about the majority seem to have switched to e-cigs, i suppose because they're cheaper, healthier and many places allow them to be used inside.
