Charging high prices in shops in the uk actively encourages smuglers - its like the Volstead act in the USA and AL Capone

the government should come to its senses and lower the duty
on booze & cigs immediately

anyway - if we are in a free market - why can't you go to france and buy as many as you want - even if you are containering them in

still - at least with the smuggled varieties you don't have to put up with the increasingly daft slogans on the packets

saw one the other day "DON'T DO IT YOU PRAT!" - or something similar
