    Because every time they do it makes the smuggling problem worse. Not to say that they won't; but if they don't, that's why.

    There has been so many seizures of late which goes to show how big the black market is. It'll only grow if prices increase- I really hope they don't increase the prices of cigarettes. A tenner is ridiculous.

    Any source on this? They wont touch tobacco, except for the fact that the VAT hike will put 17c on every pack.

    Was talking to a rep at work last week. Apparently B&H Silver will be staying at €8 regardless.

    25¢ on a pack of 20.
    Could be worse.

    No the 25 cent is being applied now (excise duty is being put up). Vat will add another 20 cent or so come Jan 1st.

    Should be 8.90 as they were 8.65 prior to the budget. In saying that I was charged 8.65 for a pack today.
