As If they weren't high enough, I've just heard they're going up again in October.
Time to learn how to roll

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.

dont see how anyone can afford to smoke cartons. 8 quid for 20?? mad. Roll ups are so much cheaper.

rolling is half the fun of smoking

[wilko1991]

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.

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

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

[Muddy_Hands]

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

[eyre2]

all my friends stopped smoking now because they really cant afford it!

[Dux_Helvetica]

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

Verify that stat

[cl_steele]

my cigarettes are already coming up to £8 a pack how on earth can they raise them more?! i think im going to start having to go to places like Greece more where i can quite literally buy 10packs for the price of one from here ... disgraceful government.

[takethyfacehence]

Glad I roll now. Plus will enjoy the lower prices during my month on the Continent this summer

Apologies; 18% of cigarettes and 50% of tobacco.

I used this for a college assignment a few months back, knew I'd read 50% somewhere. Still costs government 2billion a year.

[Bezaberry]

Lol of course, we're addicted, so they can raise to price and people will still pay it, unlimited money!

[UnknownPerson]

Dont see people complaining about rising condom prices
