    How many of us smokers that used to smoke tailor made fags now smoke roll ups because of the stupid price of a packet of 20?

          I gave up a couple of years back but I smoked roll ups out of preference.

            Same here. I still fancy a rolly from time to time now though. When I was on my hols, I met up with a mate in Portsmouth who smokes, and I scrounged half a rolly off him. My head nearly exploded. It was pleasant though, but I wouldn't want to go back to being a regular smoker.

              Price shouldn't come into it ... health should. How many of you who smoke have had cancer ... ? Just think about it ... I speak from experience ...

                Can't vote, I've always smoked rolls (Golden Virginia) from when I started. Sometimes I can get 50g for £5 off a Navy friend of mine so price isn't too steep.

                I don't mind a cigarette but usually they're too dry and hot for me, not enjoyable.

                I'd like to stop but I enjoy smoking so won't be stopping for a while probably.

                I used to too when I was a smoker. Saves baccy and you get just as much of a fix as you would with a fat rolly.

                    Packed it in 20yrs ago.
                    Believe it or not, because of the price even back then.

                    Would start again tomorrow if they were cheap.

                      Gave up just over 12 years ago , never really missed them . I used to smoke Marlborough Lights , but would always scrounge a Golden Virginia roll up if I could !
                      I think smokers should be applauded for the amount of tax they pay into the kitty , don't encourage them to give up :biggrin:
