Being honest i have an appointment next week for some smoking clinic to stop and it is not the price or those pathetic health warnings that have impacted me or encouraged me to stop. They should stop all the advert's and tax as from what i have ever seen it has zero impact on those that are not already thinking about stopping. |
I'm like you, I get mine off a lorry driver who drives in Spain and France every 2 weeks, he gets me 400 Benson and Hedges for £46. Buy the same in the UK and you'll be looking in the region of £110. 200 Bensons last me 2 weeks, the other 200 are for a woman next door.
