tobacco price in France

Hi everyone,

Not sure if i post at the right place but here goes

What's the current price for tobacco in France? I read the pouches comes in 40g instead of usual 50g?
And would it vary from shop to shop and airport?

Just been quoted around 8euro + and i thought that's rather expensive as last year i manage to get around 5euro for 50g in Spain. Also, they dont sell Amber leaf?

Thanks for the replies.

If you've got transport better nipping into Belgium. About £4.70 per 50g.

Can't say for sure cos I'm a non smoker.

All I can say is that I used to bring back tobacco for a friend a few years back when the exchange rate was £1.00-€1.50. My friend doesn't even ask me to bring anything back anymore now that the exchange rate is so bad... can only assume its not that much cheaper if at all.

No concerns about the legality?

Very few legal issues with this unless he was planning on bringing it over by the tonne.

And yeh i'd say about 8 euros is about right, certainly notice that fags are no longer cheap in france, more often than not pay more in a shop in france than uk especially with the exchange rate although im guessing the euro has weakened considerably. think the best place to buy is at the duty free.

IMO not worth it like other poster said, belgium is the place to go. I buy mine over here for £7.50 for a 50g so definatley not worth it in my case. But if your currently paying near the £15 mark then yeh go for it
