Duty free fags Spain
« on: August 03, 2012, 02:07:20 pm »
Has anyone been to Spain recently and bought fags at the duty free?

What price was a 200?

I'm not sure weather I'm better off buying from the shops here or waiting untill I'm at the duty free!
They are €43.50 for 200 in the shops

Have tried too many times, might as wel save myself a small fortune then when the duty frees run out it might be an incentive to stop with the thought of paying £7 a packet again

Got back from Spain (Alicante) airport about a month ago. Bought some for friends and family. Don't buy anything, smokes or booze in Duty free, way to pricey. Go into the local Tabac's and get what you want there, will save somewhere around 20%.


On a side note:-


Used to chuff around 40-60 a day, then went cold turkey 4 years ago after my mum passed away and not had one since. I put aside the money I used to spend each month on fags, then after 3 years bought my ED30 with that money (paid the garage, in cash, £11,400) and still had a fair bit left over. I am always telling peeps my car was free!! Now it's free to run, free to mod etc etc as I never thought after 15 years I would or could give up.

Although I miss it every day!

that's £4k-£6k per year  :scared:

OP - most people who give up do so with help. speak to your GP about local smoking cessation services

^^^^ if your going to buy loads, only buy 1 brand as if your stopped Customs will think your selling them if there are different kinds. Don't know if they would take them off you but better safe than sorry.

It will all be the same brand as they are for my own use

I don't see the point in selling them and having to pay full whack for myself later on

Disgusting habit. And do smokers not realise how nasty they smell? And females smoking fags is a total turn-off.

Unless you're having a shower, washing your hair and changing your clothes between cigarettes and going near your son he'll still be getting 2nd hand smoke off you

I'd say that's horsesh*t. Where did you garner that information?

Maybe he should keep his son in an oxygen tent - he'll likely have a long and rewarding existence.

....Either way, it doesn't set a good example to a child. I'd go as far as saying that it encourages them to smoke. The number of mothers I see with a youngster/baby in a buggy while they have a fag on the go is disgusting.

No-one actually needs to smoke. And they don't need to drink alcohol either. Life is better without both.  :evilgrin:
