How much is a pack of 20 these days?
cigarettes up by 50 cents

- Start date
€18.15 for 20 Marlboro Gold
If there are then they are most likely smoking contraband judging by what I hear on the streets...

How the hell do people afford it!
An awful lot of them buy and smoke illegally imported fags as far as I can see as I mentioned above.

Sometimes my budget is €48 per week never mind day.Thing is, some people are making this their priority, over other more important life things especially if you have kids.
Sad.

Cigs cost €3.60 for 20 here.
I always get asked by customs if I am transporting cigs at Dublin Airport. They are genuinely shocked when I say no.

Went cold turkey in 2015 while hungover to death. Took a drag off the 1st cigarette from the box of 20, said I'm not doing this anymore, then threw the other 19 and the lighter in a bin and walked away.
Never touched one since.
Ditto having tried and failed with all sorts of stabbings and mumbo jumbo one day in 2007 I just stopped. My smoking race was run and I've stayed stopped thankfully.
Truly awful. Congrats to all who got the monkey off their backs.

Those are the magic 3 words.
Anything else and your just kidding yourself.
Same for anything, cocaine, gambling etc, you just have to stop.
Its not easy, another 3 words lol

Well no, I would never dream of saying that to anybody because clearly that's not going to work.people with depression would just cheer up...
But what I am saying as somebody who has kicked a nicotine addiction and a cocaine addiction, is that you simply do just need to stop as in trying to keep something for a certain, the weekend, a certain place, the club.... it doesn't work.
A lot of people say oh I only do it when, no it needs to be never.
That's the point I'm making as a person who's gone through the process. I think you're just trying to take my words and put them in a different narrative which I don't agree with.
Anyway going completely off Topic the price of cigarettes are scandalous.
Haven't seen this trick attempted here yet..
Balloons carrying smuggled cigarettes closed Lithuania's main airport
Thousands of passengers' journeys were disrupted after the authorities closed Vilnius Airport for hours as a precaution.

€1 per cigarette is in no way a scandal. Tobacco is a non-essential item that causes huge harm to public health and costs taxpayers over €200 million per year in direct medical costs plus over €1 billion annually in indirect/economic costs.
