I remember beeing in the UK 2 years back and a pack of ciggs surely wasnt 8 pounds, did the prices go WAY up or something?
anyways, i'll stay with muh chesterfield 6€ but worth the cash i guess
VAT is at 20%. It used to be 17.5% and for a year (might have been 2 years ago) it got put down to 15% to help the economy.
Cigarettes are pretty expensive now, as well as stuff like alcohol (well over £2 per pint of lager/beer) and petrol (£1.33 per litre). I'm glad I don't smoke or drive. Or regularly drink heavily.
