    not sure I've ever noticed the tobacco plantations in Nottingham.

    The excise duty and other taxes on alcohol and tobacco in the UK is excessive with the excuse of health being blamed or environmental issues being the justification to keep duty on petrol so high.

    You should try living in sweden the fuel and cigs etc, along with virtually everything else, is far more expensive
    Live each day like its your last because one day you'll be right

    Oh there will be 'plantations' - probably heated by the next door neighbours power supply!;)
