afaik, shops make almost nothing on ciggy sales... and it's more of a bums-on-seats kind of thing.... get them in, get them spending.

20-boxes are 6.35 at my local shop.

I don't know exactly how much of the cost is tax, but I'd have a wild guess at about 50%+

Worse is vending machines in the UK, where you pay near the price of a 20 box, but only get a special 16-box Vending Pack :mad:
