The woman in front of me at Asda just paid £8.15 for a 25g pouch of tobacco. Make no wonder some people are skint. That's 20x the price of my fave chocolate and about 600x the price of my fruit, per gram.

Apologies to anyone who thought this was a look at me thread, saved you wasting (passing?) yer time though.

But it will take her a few days to smoke it, rather than 5 minutes to eat a chocolate bar. If she was skint she could not have bought it.

I gave up smoking years ago and happened to notice the price of fags in the shops the other day!! It was the same price for ten as I remember paying for 20!!

I guess what people do with their money is upto them really.

I work hard and earn my own money if i wanna buy fags i will regardless if others think its bad.

I can remember saying when 20 fags cost a quid, I'd pack in! I did start whilst at school mind you, and our local tobacconist sold singles for 5p each and you got 2 matches with each

General foodstuffs. Small shop, ex Netto, single till except for several self service tills which i avoid.

I would add that tobacco was her only purchase.

I agree. People should spend their money how they like. I just couldn't believe how much they've shot up in a few years x

I spent £16 a week on 50g of baccy. Add in the papers and lighters, it's not cheap.

I loved smoking and would start as soon as I can, just can't afford, so I gave up 6 months ago,

So if I buy cigs, booze, condoms, lube, and chocolate at my local shop I can expect to run the gamut of harsh looks and shaking heads? Damn, and I thought I could do what I liked with my pay packet.

I get 10-packs of 50 gram pouches of (legal) good quality tobacco sent in the mail from Holland for £2 a pouch. I dont even sell it, lasts me months lol.

Thing is what if she was buying it for someone else?

Just someone making a judgement on a person because they bought tabacco.....i cant say i ever pay attention to what people buy its upto them how to spend.

I just reread the OP. I don't think he was attacking her choice, I think he was just surprised at how expensive it is.

I said the same to a friend of mine just the other day when she was buying cigarettes. As a non-smoker I don't pay any attention to the price until I'm with a friend who is buying some then I am amazed at how the price seems to gallop up - it's not a cheap vice!

Good on you, it helps keep the hospitals and undertakers in business.

Every little helps
