    Have re-introduced me into the world of smoking (sort of)
    Before I could barely be in a room with smoke, I still sort of can't. I don't know what came over me about 6 weeks ago and I really felt like a smoke, after 6 years of not smoking, as it really really irritates my chest and throat.
    However I bought these Silk Cut Menthol things. They are slim and they look cool. Smoking is cool again kids. BUT, why are they the same as a normal 20 box? There is about as much tobacco in them as there are in around 5 normal sticks.

    People buy those? :O

    I work in a shop and am baffled that people actually pay for them. I presume the cost is to do with the whole taxation thing and a pack of twenty cant be below a certain price.

    All about the taxation, plus the government set a minimum price for cigarettes based on the amount of cigarettes. I've always thought lower-tar and CO smokes should be cheaper logically but it would seem not.
