Rachie14: It's my area Track. London and areas like that, 2 years ago they were £10.00. I dread to think what they are now. I think Dee's are about $12.00.
Are they reducing the type of ciggies you can buy and in what quanity?
Your right ..'normal smokes' here are over the €12 mark. Serious time to try yet again in giving them up and for good.

I never heard anything of anything like that. All they do here is just keep adding tax to it, its a cash cow for the government.

They have here, which is why I asked. Here you can longer buy packs of 10 and by 2020 my ciggies will be banned. I smoke menthol ones.
They are also restricting tabacco quanities. It's not like I get to choose to swap to menthol roll ups. They are getting rid of the tip option. But as a lot of people have switched to vapping. They are talking of taxing that.
They'll revcoup the tax elsewhere that I am sure of. Like for example sugar tax. It is meant to drive people to be healthier.
Rachie14: Apparently fruit can help with the after taste.
I'm not tasting any actual after taste, its the thought of it from yesterday. I wish I known about the fruit thing then, what a day I put in. Belch and urge, belch and urge :(

In the meantime, maybe a fruit flavored yogurt would help me now :)
