I was in Gibraltar a couple of weeks ago and noticed that B&H were £8.50 for 200, 85p per pack of 20. What do they cost here? Is it almost £5????? Whoever says that smokers should pay more for healthcare has the cheek of the devil...  Petrol was about 65p per litre over there too, we are being robbed blind... |
LOL very true lettie, the thing is that the gov want to stop people smoking in public places & now in Scotland piloting policing for people having the crafty fag aka breaching smoking in areas fining those that do £50 & premisies that its breached £200 & yet the very gov rely on the revenue collected from smokers is hugely dependable to the money pot
The most confusing is fining on top talk about bite the hand that feeds the pot. Thing is if everyone who smokes gave up - then no tax is collected from tobacco hence nothing to police & fine, so where would they get their revenue from then ?? ............mmmm another pleasure in life will be highly taxed
...fresh air will be taxed in this country soon no doubt!!
