It depends on the brand. The once i smoke cost a 1$ for a pack. In pack there are 20 cigs.
How much is £7.10? It's really not good if you must think before buying cigs.Why did they make them more expensive.
1 ot two cigs a day is enough for me. More and i will become sick. But sometimes to relax i smoke up to 5.

Holy smokes!
That is crazy expensive! I pay less then $5 ( us ) a pack and I think that this is too much. I remember when the same brand I smoke now was $1.50 (us) per pack. The most I have ever paid was about $5.50 at a machine inside a bar. I probably wouldn't have paid that much except for the convenience. I don't smoke inexpensive cigs either, these are the most expensive available.
Do you think you could save money by ordering them online in bulk?

No problem, glad I could give a LOL.
And haha the good old days weren't that long ago, they were only $3 a pack 2 years ago. So on that note I can really relate to the up up up.

I don't know how that hasn't stopped alot of people from smoking. They have been high in Calif for a while...I remember 2 years ago when Gas was near $5 a gallon...cigerretts were cheaper than a gallon of gas but about the same as a fast food lunch and if saved nearly $1500 for the year! I have no idea what goes into them for the price to be high, but $1500 a year would be a great incentive for me to quit if I were a smoker!

You need to move to Florida (USA). They are only $5.62 over here. I think your idea to quit is a smart decision! My father, and grandfather both smoked their entire lives. Right now I wish they had sent all of that money to me instead of to the tobbacco companies. I probably could have bought a house with all the money those two smoked up over the years. They both passed away from lung related illnesses.
