    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.


    I ask what the hell you are doing posting in a section that is FOR SMOKERS not the anti mob like you

    Don't call this thread tripe.
  • Hi

    Just a quick one, was in Belgium a couple of months ago and all the prices have gone up there too.
    The nice man behind the counter did explain why. Appartently British tobacco makers have had enough of their product being shipped in and out of the country as more is coming back from abroad than is being brought here so they have gone on strike and refused to supply tabacs. Indeed anything british like Amber leaf or Cutters choice cannot be brought there now for love nor money, as a result a knock-on effect means that foriegn baccies have gone up because the customers now don't have a choice. Samson, my dads choice jumped from 4.50Euro to 5.90Euro overnight.

    Just a point, but I have been behind a man in a queue who asked for a price on 10,000 10 packs of baccy to bring back on his lorry, he paid cash too.
