    thankfully they've finally realised that increasing the price of smokes, increases smuggling

    I was surprised, I thought there'd be a token increase.

    That doctor guy from ASH, the one who always slams every increase as 'derisory' - he must have been tearing his hair out.

    I'm sure they're aware of the smuggling and the "day-trippers" to spain who are stocking up and the Irish exchequer gets nothing from them at all. Any increase would have fueled an increase in this.

    I was still shocked that there was no increase though!!
