    Correct.;)
  • Cigarettes up by around 4 Euros a sleeve for popular British brands, however Royals remain unchanged at 31.50 Euros a sleeve (at least they were on 9th). L&B up to 41 Euros, and Richmond 37 Euros. Luckily we got our GV on the Tuesday before the price hike on the 9th.

    Royals now up to €36 according to the official Spanish Government site. The price in the left column is for official Tabacs and the right column for vending machines etc.

    Cigarette prices, Tobacco prices for Spain and the Balaerics

    The increase is due to tax rises by the Government, BBC report HERE

    Canary Islands around 22 euros for L&B but you are only allowed 200.
  • Hopefully it will deter the Spanish from smoking!! There is no wonder people stop going to Spain who do not smoke when you take your children for a meal in a restaurant in a lovely setting-only for a group(or 10!) to sit next to you and all start smoking!

    I hate the stuff and always have.

    It never ceases to amaze me that there aren't smoking bans in place in every country in the world. If people are stupid enough to smoke they should enjoy the privilege of shortening their life privately without bringing innocent people into their world of insanity.

  • i am a non smoker but it really annoys me how people are against smokers.the people in my family are all hard workers pay their taxes and insurances and enjoy ciggys and then you get people like yourself who do nothing but keep running down people who smoke DO YOU PAY FOR THEM ?
    well leave them alone i am sure you have vices that other people are against

    If people could smoke and keep the smoke to themselves I bet none smokers wouldn't have a problem with it. If people want to eat 50 cheeseburgers a day and kill themselves that way then it only hurts them and no one within a radius of 20 feet of them. Smoking is only legal because it makes governments so much money.
