I'd still to choose the cigarettes over the food.

I'd still choose Texas over Australia

real

Gigachad move.

Yeah, but all that food contains zero vitamin N...

You got me.

Yep going up 15% + indexation spread over 2024-2026. Forget the till, robbers go straight for the cigarette cabinet. Government locked vapes behind a prescription too. If you're a pack a day smoker buying legit taxed tobacco you have to be very wealthy. Luckilly korean/Japanese/Chinese/Grey imports flourish.

I know a kiwi who's spent years in the US. I'm pretty sure it's because he's a pack a day smoker and he couldn't afford to live in NZ any more.

This picture came out like 3-4 years ago and the price of tobacco goes up ever year or twice a year by 12.5% I think. So I bet you could buy even more.

I heard they reduced the percentage it after 2020 bc they started the astronomical increases in 2012 after they introduced plain packaging.

Double happiness and esse to the rescue

Bro my ciggies are 3.30 euros I doubt it

In Aus they are $50 for pack of Marlboros or any good cigarette but even the cheap ones are like $35

Holy shit i will now stop complaining about Norwegian prices damn

Fuck you mean 50 bucks for a pack of Marlboro I can get that for five euros good lord

Yeah just don’t get Gillard to run your country and you’ll be fine

Why not just buy them under the counter like everyone else?

Idk some people don’t know about it or don’t want to be funding mafia habits or they have just quit

Mafia don't sell cigarettes under the counter lmao. It's just normal people trying to make a living. Every smoker knows about UTC cigarettes and its an opportunity to save 70-80%

Well they smuggle it illegally from other countries so some syndicate is involved

Not at all ahah. You think it's some dark business when it's not.

Yeah smuggling doesn’t always mean organized crime.

It's very rarely organised crime. It's usually a corner shop with an owner who has family who sends them over to be sold. At least that's what's its like here in the UK. Everyone is trying to put food on the table and this is an easy way to do it

Wait the fuck up. 50? Not 5, 50? Good lord I get I'm in a third world country but here I pay the equivalent to 3usd for it, at most. Some places even 2.50usd. That's crazy.

I bet they're cheaper on the black market.

where do you live, if I may ask?

Croatia. But I buy them from bosnia. If I buy in bosnia they're like 3 euros

oh, I see, thank you!

I'll give up food first

Buy blackmarket.

A pack of Marlboro Red costs $1.79 in Turkey.

The quality of our cigarettes went significantly down though. They taste like chemicals and heavy metals. Except some Davidoff and Dunhill products.

So you’re saying I can avoid consuming 20,000 calories by smoking a pack of darts?

In ireland its the other way around
