    He'll put smokes up to £5 and he wants to stop the sale of them in 10's as that encourages kids.. When I was a young lad in the early 60's they used to be sold in packs of 5 and some places would sell single cigarettes.. For those in the States this means that a pack of 20 will be almost $10 here in the UK !!!


    As for booze.. As I only drink when I'm out any price rise won't hit me that badly..

      I don't smoke but hubby does so I have to watch that too. The only people I have ever seen buy packs of 10s are teens and broke uni students.

                            I find it hard to believe that you know a place that sells 0.7L of vodka for £7
