Extra €1 on a box of cigarettes
- Thread starter Savvy
- Start date
€18+ for 20 assuming the purchaser is one of the few who actually buys legit fags these days....
Yeah - I heard that too on Virgin Media!Sue Ellen said:
Cigarettes to jump by €1 to €18.05 from midnight with a tax on vapes expected next year
The excise duty hike on cigarettes is double the usual increase of 50c.

i'm more worried about the 50 cent per ml on Vape Juice. I can buy a 100ml bottle now for about €15 so this is going to increase in price 5 fold to €65 !. The government parties will feel my ire in the next election as that's just off the wall. 500% increase in one budget !!!
Is that increase coming into effect at midnight? If not load up now @ the 15 euro price.

Middle of next year I heard so I will before the deadline
I disagree.
Very, very few young folks smoke these days. Really only old codgers that are hopelessly addicted are still smoking these days.
They can’t/won’t stop but will increasingly turn to the black market for their supplies.
So the overall impact on revenue/public health will be minimal.
That’s just the vapes - the ciggies go up from midnight.
Someone who smokes 100 fags a day and still manages to become "elderly" must have enviable genes.How much will that make an average box of cigarettes now?
Heard one elderly man on the news saying that he is now down from 100 per day to 60

That excludes people bringing them back from holiday or those able to buy in duty free.
My wife still smokes , but I think she bought about 5 packs in the last year.
Between weekends away and friends and family coming from USA/UK, she has a steady supply at about €6 a pack and nothing underhanded about it.
Dusseldorf is a favourite destination. At €6.80 per 20, it's effectively a "Free" weekend away
yes dusseldorf is a great city, not on many peoples radar as they usually goto cologne or berlin
loads of golf courses and great beer - perfection LOL
Day trip to Düsseldorf - €67 last time I went. Early flight landing about 10am, departure about 8pm. Low price public transport. €20 for a pack of 56 cigarettes.
