it's just pushed the black market trade into prominence lol

2018-06-23 14:23:01 UTC  

£10 a pack of fags is three times what it costs most of the world

2018-06-23 14:23:22 UTC  

and they've penalised the people paying for legal tobacco by such a crazy amount they actually end up buying more, and thus, smoking more

2018-06-23 14:23:24 UTC  

the black market is heavly crushed all our border security do is stop illegal fags instead of imigrants

2018-06-23 14:23:47 UTC  

in the UK I can assure you that black market tobacco is easy to procure

2018-06-23 14:24:04 UTC  

I know it is but it's not a repalcment

2018-06-23 14:24:06 UTC  

if you're saying otherwise, I'd be curious as to where you're located I guess

2018-06-23 14:24:24 UTC  

I don't live in a city

2018-06-23 14:24:37 UTC  

the poor are using the black market, 9 to 10 pounds for fifty grams of golden virginia?

2018-06-23 14:24:45 UTC  

they aren't stupid

2018-06-23 14:25:42 UTC  

even at 13, which is the highest I've heard of for a dodge packet, you're saving a lot

2018-06-23 14:26:09 UTC  

ofc you've got potentially dodgy tobacco quality to factor in, too

2018-06-23 14:26:49 UTC  

lol even well off people will buy it, it is a curious way to go about curbing smoking

2018-06-23 14:27:20 UTC  

🍆

2018-06-23 14:27:35 UTC  

it's not about curbing smoking

2018-06-23 14:27:41 UTC  

it's about keeping people poor with taxes

2018-06-23 14:29:13 UTC  

I'm not sure if it's working out, I've not seen any recent figures citing revenue for tobacco into the treasury since the new legislation passed

2018-06-23 14:29:50 UTC  

worth looking into

2018-06-23 14:30:43 UTC  

I'm quite open to the possibility the government just wants to tax those with the least representation, but that's what all parties seemingly have done in the UK since the dawn of democracy

2018-06-23 14:31:24 UTC  

we are so massively taxed with tobacco it's insane

2018-06-23 14:32:12 UTC  

all this new legislation's done is help move the tobacco industry's average purchase price by over 100%

2018-06-23 14:32:55 UTC  

My eyes are glazed over as fuck trying to follow this

2018-06-23 14:33:02 UTC  

What in the ass are y'all on about

2018-06-23 14:33:57 UTC  

Apologies Canuck. We passed legislation in the UK massively upping the price and minimum supplied quantities, alongside measures to remove all unique identifying packaging from such products recently

2018-06-23 14:34:33 UTC  

whereas before you could purchase a 12g pouch of tobacco, now you can only purchase a minimum of 30grams

2018-06-23 14:34:37 UTC  

Cigarettes cause a fuckload of cancer so

2018-06-23 14:34:45 UTC  

yes, they do

2018-06-23 14:34:54 UTC  

Can't say I'm mad they're taxing them to high hell

2018-06-23 14:35:00 UTC  

convince people to quit, or not start

2018-06-23 14:35:12 UTC  

I can, when the money isn't going to the NHS

2018-06-23 14:35:18 UTC  

it's going to the tobacco companies

2018-06-23 14:35:55 UTC  

*ha*

2018-06-23 14:38:18 UTC  

falcon 10 prototypes

2018-06-23 14:39:45 UTC

2018-06-23 14:39:51 UTC
