Increase In Cigarette Prices

[Prudie]

I've noticed in the last couple of weeks that cigarettes seem to have gone up by about 25p per packet. I didn't think there was a raise in the last budget. Is this something from previous budgets, anyone else noticed?

[Prudie]

Mine are menthol Craft, are they now £8.13 up your way too?

Bloomin hell. OH buys the ciggies, I don't tend to go to the shops. I would have gone down the shop with a fiver and expected change. Think it's time to give up

I never stick to a brand now. It used to be Regal Kingsize but they are far too expensive now. Berkeley King Size £6.51 at Sainsburys.

Wow! I'm shocked at how expensive cigarettes are. Thankfully, I've not been much of a smoker. More socially than anything, but haven't had one for over a year. I don't think I'd be able to afford it anyway - which is a good thing.

craft....I dont think the pension fuel payment is meant for ciggies - lol

...and they'll keep going up whilst there are those hopelessly addicted enough to pay it.
