    These fcukers are going to drive us all to the other side. I'm a tax paying citizen who values his place on the right side of the law. However my principles are being severely tested as of late. I have friends who rely on the rackets, it would be very easy for me to switch also.

    The Golden Vigina is €4.50 at the moment. I know a lot of people that went from cig to the rollies as it was cheaper, but if the government raises taxes too much, they'll just take in a lot less tax, imo.

    The latest increase has nothing to do with the Government (except for the 20whateveritis%thesedays VAT they get from the increase). It's the tobacco companies who have decided on this one. In fairness though some less popular brands have been reduced but they can't advertise the fact. Easiest thing to do is press all the buttons in the machine in your local pub to get guidelines.
