Oh that made me laugh.  I loved the comment about buying Europe.

Re: Price of cigarettes goes up
I bet if he checks his credit card number he'll quite likely find it matches the ammount charged

Re: Price of cigarettes goes up
I wonder if the account of the petrol station actually got credited with that amount?.

Re: Price of cigarettes goes up
I always knew smoking was bad for one's health, but I suspect he wouldn't have expected that form of stress.

Re: Price of cigarettes goes up
I wonder if that amount has ever been spent in a single transaction?
I doubt that many people/countries have that much ready cash in their bank accounts.

I don't think there is even that amount of money (including financial instruments) in the world, some rather famous Americian economist mentioned the figure a couple of months ago during an interview. I honestly can't remember the sum mentioned, but it certainly wasn't anywhere near the amount this dude got charged for 20 fags....

Re: Price of cigarettes goes up
When I was trying to give up smoking one of my most successful aids was to visualise that each lit cigarette as actual money going up in smoke.
The cost of each of this guys cigarettes would have taken my visualisation up to a whole new level.
