I used to dread Budget day as we all knew that the fags would be top of the poll for large increase. Now there are other things I can focus on.

Because it's a dirty disgusting filthy habit, and it might stop hubby from smoking 40 of them a day. LOL You can tell that champix is doing it's job lol I know Jem pmsl, i'm turning into one of those annoying non smokers who waft their hand at the sight or smell of a fag.

It'll be more than that won't it as that's just the increased duty, before VAT. . . so more like a 45-50p price hike? Over £7 a pack are they now ciggies, I've lost touch of prices . . . praise be!

Crikey - I made the permanent switch to rollies when the price got close to £5 per pack back in 2002(?).

Word of warning though, I remember when there weren't that many diesel cars about and diesel was as cheap as chips and the government said "we will never raise the price, it's a much cleaner alternative". Everyone migrated to Diesel cars and the price went up and up and up and now it is more expensive than unleaded. Why mention that? Well if everyone starts migrating across to ecigs, I bet we are have a conversation in 10 years time about the cost of eliquid and how massivly regulated it is etc etc. It's all a way to extract money from us as taxes. So keep this little secret quiet a while and we carry on total smugness for a while yet
