Hate to say it... but wouldn't try to quit be better?
You'd save loads.

Again? I'm sure they've just gone up - they're nearly £8 a pack now. I absolutely resent being priced out of smoking, and it's making me determined not to quit.

It's totally ****. I've been forced to quit because of the ridiculous costs of smoking. I am so jealous of the rich who can smoke to their hearts content. :frown:

EDIT: was going to say that I used to smoke rollies but went back to normal fags for a while when I was working in the summer. Then couldn't revert back to rollies when I started uni again. Had to quit. So ****.

£8 a pack!? Jeez. I remember when they were about £3.50 and I thought that was expensive!

(You might have gathered, I don't smoke!).

£8 for a 20 deck
£3.50 for a 10 deck

Same. Was it really that long ago they were £3.50?

So higher costs on cigarettes DO make people quit... that's nice.

And the government wonder why 50% of fags smoked are knock-off! They're pricing themselves out of their own revenue.

I remember coming to the UK and being shocked at the cigarette prices in comparison to their cost on the Continent.
