My fags have gone up from £5.56 to £5.99, they had one £5.56 packet left, and I went to buy 4 packets.
The guy scanned all 4 at the £5.99 price and I'm like "WTF? is this?" and he's like "It's the budget" and I'm like "Ok, I'll just buy the one packet at £5.56 price" so he's like "alright" and I bought the packet.

I can't even find how much fags have gone up by in the budget, but I swear man, fuck this country. Run by fucking multi millionares telling us how we're on all this together, like they've got a fucking clue what it's like. Someone should drive a nuclear bomb carrying train straight through #10 downing street when everyone in goverment desision making is over for a party.

I can't even find how much they've gone up by on the news.

When I gave up they were £4.20 a packet.
When I started they were £2.50.

Can't say I think it's a bad thing that cigarettes are being priced beyond most peoples' means, if I'm honest. Long may it continue.

I don't want to get all evangelical ex-smoker
but they are an awful, awful thing. Worst drug by far and about the only one (aside, arguably, from alcohol) that can kill people that don't use it.

If your monolopised smack dealer started putting up prices, you'd be up in train-tracked arms about it.
If your monoploised smack dealer quits, then fair enough, but just putting up prices after prices 'cus they know it'll get paid is just bullshit.

Sure, the people already on smack are fucked, but then they'll sell their own grandmother for their habit anyway so fuck 'em
if you make it too expensive for kids to take up the habit though, it's a win. Even if it is only an accidental by-product of being a greedy taxing wanker.

It's a shitty way of going about it.
If it's a health issue than my wallet should be irrelivent.

Yeah it's like the anti booze thing they're trying to work out at the moment
Like they think people drink cos it's cheap and that's the only reason
Not y'know, cos it takes their minds off their shithole of a life for a few hours, no, couldn't be that.

It's seductive, smoking. Even without all the advertisements of my childhood
and with all the laws making smoking as inconvenient as possible. People keep taking it up. So put the prices up so high that teenagers can't afford to get into it before they start thinking of it as unattractive and you might stop more of them from starting in the first place.

Then they should make lighters for 25 year olds and up

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Thu 28 Mar 2013, 17:07, Reply)

Cigarette smoking is being forced out as an option.
More and more laws will come in to restrict where you can smoke and the prices will continue to go up. More people are quitting. Eventually cigarette smoking will be banned outright whenever the voice of dissent gets quiet enough.

You, my friend, are part of a dying breed. Figuratively and, after a few more years, quite possibly literally.

Plus, if the plan to sell all cigarettes in plain packaging goes ahead, you won't know what you're buying - could be Chesterfields or sawdust.
Which I'm pretty sure doesn't sit well with the Sale of Goods Act, or the General Product Safety Regulations.
